Is it possible for you to try another burning app (eg: EasyCD, Feurio) other than Nero as a test?

This will help you find out whether the problem is with Drive, CD or application.

HTH / Good Luck.

If it's a new drive, then I think it's time to talk to tech support. If it's an old drive, let us know what is the last major software / hardware change you did before getting this error.

Btw, did you try different media?

1 year old... [made in 2001. i used it since 2002]i only burned 100 or so cd's in that year...
& i didn't use it for reading at all... just for writing...

i took the media that this burner can't write on & tested it on a LG writer... & it burned it good...

i also installed the yamaha on another pc with WinME & it didn't burned...

[btw, i used to use a certain cd brand in the last year, & it was 99% of the times good... untill the last month...]

Does it mean that your drive didn't work also in the other PC?

How about reading? One more thing you can try is to use a cd cleaner but I'm not sure how helpful this would be.

Btw, These days burners are cheap, why not consider to go for a new one?

Good Luck.
