Greetings, I have an old laptop (Sony PCG-XG9).
I have an old LaCie CDRW Drive, which i recently swapped out for a Yamaha CRW 3200 CD RW Drive, it worked fine for 6 months. Then i reformatted and put WinXP (2600 Build) with SP1 on it.
Now i use Nero (very latest) and when i try to burn ANYTHING. It will accept the Burn, I insert the disc, and it Fills the buffer etc. The drive spins up the disc, and starts to write (only for a milisecond), and then it spins down, and goes Idle. No matter how long it sits there (tried leaving it for an hour and a bit). It simply refuses to burn. Then when i have rebooted about 5 times and turned the power of the burner off and on like another 10 times. It will burn 1 disc before it does what it norm does.
Please I am begging. Please help.
Dare I ask .. Perhaps is it a dead drive??
Thanks in advance for any help!:happy:
