I am running Windows XP, sp3 and I need just a little bit of help. I'm having an issue with a CD/DVD burner. I have tried another burner but the end result is the same. I can burn CDs but can't burn DVDs. I've even re-installed
XP and still the end result is the same. I've made sure that the burner speed was the same as the program doing the burning. When taking the rip from the Harddrive and attempting to burn it, other than burn failed message, another message says, can not write end of disc even before the burning starts. Any suggestiong

Dear rshaffer61: I want to thank you so much for responding to the burner issue.
I believe I may have found the problem that was causing all the headaches.
I'm not exactly sure what the window is called but when you insert a disc into the drive weather
a cd or dvd a window opens which gives you a choice on how you want it to open, such as "Recode DVD,Play Video, Play video in Realplayer, play video in Win DVD, Play video in Windows media player, Open file, or take no action." I had notice before the last restore of windows xp that allot of those was missing. Something must have happened where allot of those choices was not installed. Weather or not they have a bearing on the burner recognizing the disc as a DVD verses a cd is unsure. However at this point in time the burner now burns both.

Are you still having problems with your issue?
It has been 29 days since your last response and I was wondering if the issue has been resolved?
If so can you explain how it was resolved so others may be able to fix it if they have the same issue.
If not please let us know and we can continue with helping you to resolve the issue.
