Hi all.

I've always burn my DVDs (movie and data) with no problems. Even with crappy branded DVDRs I get no error.

The writer is an internal one in my ACER laptop. Max speed is only 8x.

Recently I can't burn any DVDs. For DVD movies, I've always used their DVD-Video template.

I can't see any DMA / PIO related settings under my "Device Manager".

I do want to burn Data DVDs too e.g. MP3 / video collection.

Currently I can play DVD movies & Data DVDs (those I previously burnt when all was OK) perfectly.

I even tried enabling "Simulation" in Nero with and without the Burning but in both cases Simulation just failed. I get a "Invalid Block Address" message in the status window.

I noticed that when trying to burn in Nero, the Burn tab got "Verify written data" disabled so I can't tick it.

I tried Nero DriveSpeed but I get a "No CD-ROM found" message.

I bought this laptop around Dec 2008. I can't take my laptop back to the shop I bought it for repair/check up because it's in a different town & far from me.

IS there a way I can check if my writer/the laser thingy in it is physically ok? Maybe with another software.
Device Mgr says "This device is working properly". I want another opinion.

See my 2 enclosed Notepad files for the logs.

So what's suddenly screwing with my DVD burning now?

Hello,

im having same troubles here.. any inputs would be great!

Thanks!

Well there is Nero info tool but helps if you have DVD/CD inserted. Could try burning within Windows or reinstalling software.
