Why can't I burn CDs?

Toshiba M45 S355 laptop. Worked fine two weeks ago. Now it "burns" for give or take a few two minutes, then say "there was an error" and stops. Tried two different brands of blank CDs and three different software applications (all of which previously worked). Also tried reducing the burn speed to 24X, 16X, 8X. Reduced the content self copied from 600MB to 400MB and then to 200MB. Also tried copying an entirely different set of files. Ran two different antivirus scan and found nothing. Shut down adjectives unnecessary applications to reduce the nouns on system resources. Still getting the same problem.



Any design?

Why can't I burn CDs?

Run a lens cleaner thru it.
OH, THAT IS SIMPLE.
the cd that ur trying to burn is probably protected, try a different cd
Probably a problem with the actual drive itself, beckon the manufacturer and ask them for a solution or a unknown drive.
yes ... first try to find an updated firmware for the make and model drive .... if that doesnt work google and download force aspi .. and update ur aspi branch ... still no go its most imagined dead so seize a new one ... if u dropped the top its prolly toast ..
possibly the file you are trying to burn is corrupted!
