you might want to flash to the latest firmware or try different cd's, otherwise no, why don't you tell us what your trying to burn?

some cd burners can be very picky

Trying to burn music CD's as in albums.
Have tried both TDK & TDK Gold & another brand. Also have a Teac that im willing to try if its got some hope of working, but dont want to waste it. Already wasted too many. ****ed because CD-RW work fine but they cost like twice as much.
Ill looking into the firmware though, thanks.

And somebody please dont mention copyright protection because its not that.

so the cd won't play in the computer? or won't play in a stand alone device (eg dvd player, cd player)? or does it just give an error when burning?

The program that comes with the burner gives a operation failed message after it is finished burning. Although there is at least some data on the disc normally 400mb worth, it wont play on the computer or in my hi-fi.

Try burning at a slower speed. im guesssing this is the prob becoz you can burn onto cd/rws fine and they require slower speed of burning. So try 16X or 8X speed. That should do the trick.

ok, i presume you got the ulead dvd burning programs then? i have a pioneer burner as well and haven't had a problem, you might want to try deepburner which is a free burning program, if deepburner doesn't work then its probably the cd's or possibly windows, or maybe still the burner?

Thanks for all your suggestions & help!

I d/l Deep Burner and it didnt do the trick. However out of desperation I tried a slower speed [Im sure ive tried that before because you weren't the first to suggest that] however it has started working.

Thank you all for your input
