I am on an HP Pavillion Notebook using a TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L532M DVD+_RW burner. For a while now, DVDs are not burning properly from my hard drive. These are the following steps I have undertaken:
1. The System default burning software was Sonic MyDVD. It worked before, but when the DVDs stopped burning I used Nero and some free burner program, neither worked. The errors came up either right at the end of burning the disc or right as it started to verify. I tried reducing the burning speeds, but none of that helped. I've uninstalled and reinstalled all of the programs to see if something messed up, but the same errors came up. Here are a few images that have the errors, which were equivilent through the different programs:

2. Now I have used different media for each material. The first was a memorex DVD+R which I bought 100 of them. Normally they work fine, but now they aren't. So I bought FujiFilm DVD-Rs to try to use a different format and manufacturer, but again the same errors in Sonic and Nero. By then I used the third program to burn, and it rejected both media. After doing some searching online, I found Verbatim DVD-Rs to be the best. So I bought these today, and after 2 attempts, no progress.
3. One odd thing also is that whenever I stick a blank DVD into the drive, it renames in the My Computer to CD-Rom, here's a screenshot with a wierd error coming up. This only started happening after I started going after the drivers.

4. I've tried updating the drivers manually through the Toshiba website and uninstalling the hardware and having windows reinstalling it through HPs support (which didn't really help much) and this hasn't helped at all.
Basically I am stuck. I am afraid if I send in my computer for service, the harddisks will be erased. I want to back up my files, which I have been unable to do. So unless I have to buy an external harddrive for a backup or an external DVD burner, both cost more than DVDs and I don't really want to do, I need help.
Thank you. ^_^
