burner problems

by tweeker Aug 27, 2005 3:21AM PDT

I'm using a Sony DRU710A burner, yesterday it worked fine, today when it starts to write to disk I get a grinding noise and then an error message telling me it failed to write, could my burner be going bad? thinking back I noticed a slight noise when burning but paid little attention to it, this burner is about a year old and it gets a lot of use .
Help!!!

Tweeker, Sounds Like The Drive's Headed South...

In cases such as your's, it's too easy (and inexpensive if you watch for "sales") to purchase a new one..In many cases, a step up to a better DVD burner might even be a bonus.

Hope this helps.

My DVD ROM made noise to that effect,I hope not. Get a Plextor burner,its cost a little more but,its worth it.
