My drive is an older Philips CDRW 2412A. I just bought a new spindle of Verbatim cd-r disks, and was able to burn one okay. The second one, and 3rd, 4th, 5th all returned errors. I defragged my drives, and tried to burn different files. I also tried burning at the slowest speed.
So all I can think of is, the Verbatim disks are bad, (all but one) or the Philips is going bad. How do you know when it is time to buy a new drive? Do they go "bad?" I don't think I have ever used Verbatim disks before, but I read they are okay. And I have used really cheap disks before with no errors...
