DVD Writing Struck at 1% In samsung external Slim DVDW

My issue is that writing strucks on 1% (only when writing DVD's). No issues while writing CD's. Some times writing is normal when writing RW DVD's. Writer is Samsung Slim External DVD writer. The product is under warranty and got replaced once. It is only 4 months old. Second time they refuesed to replace the writer as it is not showing any isssues in other computers. I reinstalled Windows and Nero. I almost tried all versions of Nero. Still got the same error shown below. Alcohol and Daemon Tools where previously installed, but I uninstalled it now and still getting same error. No issues with the USB port, other devices are working fine in the same port. I bought this writer because my laps internal writer got damaged which is of same make.I updated the writers firmware to the latest.....Please help.......

it's installing Alcohol and Deamon tools that corrupted something the uninstall didn't correct.

Time to prove that by starting all over again, I'd say. Then see if Samsung, Microsoft and the makers of Alcohol and Deamon tools can find the problem and correct it.

It's easier and faster to replace the internal drive.

I think I had made a mistake by buying this substandard product...Could please help me out in this as I am not able get a refund.....

I've got a Samsung external DVD-drive also (also I only used it read, not to burn) and I don't have any problems as yet. Maybe you mean Alcohol 120%?

After all, the Samsung didn't come with a driver as far as I remember. So it can't be Samsung software that's at fault. And - as you say yourself - the hardware functions fine on another PC. So there's no reason at all at the moment to call it substandard, isn't there?

Kees

Actually its really a substandard product no doubt I Brought it two days ago tried it on three different PCs ( one running on Windows XP SP3, one running on Windows 7 Home Premium and another running on Windows 7 ultimate ) it wont work it neither writes/Burns nor reads DVDs not even the DVD to install Nero they gave with the Product.

Sorry guys the issue was with Kaspersky Internet Security. When I disabled it the problem got solved.
