Burning CD's

[tips09 0]

Ok so heres the deal ive been trying to burn a cd and it wont even burn the first song onto the disk. I have waited for over 30 minutes for each disk and i have tried burning with Nero, ITunes, and windows media player. Any insight would be much appretiated. BTW this is a new problem as other times i have burned cd's they've been done within 5 minutes. Thanks

There are way too many variables given the limited information you provided. Perhaps you have a bad drive if so many programs don't work?

I was going to suggest this myself. I've had two cd-burners just drop dead out of the blue on me. One day, they were fine, and all of a sudden, death.

In some rare instances, it might be a driver error, but more likely than not, you're dealing with a dead drive when no programs will work.

I had a problem with a batch of CDs with my burner. Thought my drive was toasted until I tired a different brand of CDs. It was halfway into a 50 spindle when it happened, the CDs were just all corrupted for whatever reason.

Also, if you have a failed burn with a disc it will never work, not sure if you're getting a new one each try.
