Burning Problems -Disc Just Spins!

[haydn]

Hi, I have a Lite On LTR-40125W (40X/12X/48X) CDRW and am having problems burning. Quite often when burning with Nero, the the CD spins but does not burn. I cannot eject the cd and even when cancelling the burn the CD continues to spin. Windows will not allow me to end Nero and the only way i can stop the CDR in the CDRW drive is to shutdown my system. Is this a drive fault??? I had it with the original firmware and have updated to the latest firmware and this has not helped???

Any thoughts as it's driving me crazy.

Out of curiosity, what version of Nero are you using? And, what brand of blank CD's are you using?

I had this problem in 2 cases:
1. Media problem -> Try different media
2. Nero conflict with other vendor packet writing software (Recordnow DLA) -> I uninstalled DLA.

Hi , Re your questions.

I'm using the bundled versionwhich came with the CDRW and have also upgraded it to version 5.5.9.17 and it's still does the same thing. I do not have any other burning software loaded.

I'm using Samsung 32x CDRs.

I haven't heard a peep about Samsung 32X media in the Lite-On LTR-40125W, so it may very well be incompatible. Try another brand of media and let us know the results.

Haydn;

I have the same setup you do and I just got the same problem and exact situation few days ago, have not come to any solution for it and I hate to reformate just for the sake of curiousity. I hope some one come up with the right answer to resolve this problem. Our last choices would be to RMA this drive back to the either Lite-on the manufacturer or the repackaging company.
