CD R-RW not burning my CDs

[bsenthilbalu]

Hi all,
I'm using SAMSUNG CD R-RW for the last 5- 6 years.
Recently I tried to burn a CD wih Nero, but it went fine and in the end throwed the message Burn process completed. But nothing there is in the CD.
The second time, when i tried, it went to 99% almost and showed as Burn process failed.

Then i tried with Windows writer wizard, but the same result.

Almost I have tried with 3-4 brands of blank CD's.

Not able to figure out where the problem located CD or CD Drive? If so what to do to solve this issue?

I hope this is the Right place to raise this question.

If you used different brands of CD I am positive you can get rid of that notion. Have you tried just moving files over to the discs? Sounds like your disc drive might be going out (Or already has) Is it making any sound it didn't before? I had my disc drive on my laptop go out. Started to sound like a jet engine taking off.

 

[bsenthilbalu]

Nope. The Drive didnt produce any abnormal sounds.

 

[YZFRydn]

Have you tried playing any type of disc? DVD or CD? Will it rip songs?

 

[bsenthilbalu]

Ya, its able to read the contents and can play the songs..too..no probs with reading the disc..

Actually the Burn process failed during..Leadin and Leadout process

Optical drives can fail in different ways. They all don't have to make abnormal sounds. I agree with the idea that the drive has failed. After 5-6 years that would not be unusual.

So you mean the problem lies with the drive?

 

[raybay]

Your drive is very, very old. If you have used it very much at all, it has worn out, and is the cause of all other problems. When a new drive can be had for $18 to $22, or $29 at Wal-Mar, and your time is valuable, replace the drive first. The average life of an optical drive is a year, not 5-6 years.

I agree with raybay and mailpup.
