Of course nothing lasts forever my brothers was only 14 months old and about 200 cuts thats all mind you I think it was a ploy just to get the money out of the wife for a faster drive.
Me cough cough must have made 500 plus by now and it 18 months old not bothered about a faster one for now and I have the same drive as he had.

Smoke dirt and all that won't help either which mine gets plenty of its now on 10 a day.

i have had my cd-rw drive since last christmas and the cd's im using are not the problem buti have tried 3 buirns in the last 2 days and they havent worked.

2 important things

burn at a couple of notches slower than your drive is capable of

don't have any programs running at the same time, including antivirus etc

does your drive have updates my liteon does try checking out the manufacturers site ..if you have to buy a new one i recomend a liteon works great ,,,

Hey accat13, long time no see. Good to see you.

Now that you've freed up some space, try creating an image.

If it screws up, you've got a software/hd problem. If not, you've got a cd-rw problem.
