Hi,
I am having a problem with my DVD writer.(Lite On LDW-851s.) It will read and write DVD's..but is have trouble
reading Music Cd and Writing CD-R's...
Has been working..just started this..
I was copying a music CD and it got 89% done and just stop writing..
Now it will not read them or write..I have used a Lens Cleaner CD..didn't work
I then download the new Firmware for the 851s , went from GS0C to GS0H,
and install, didn't help..have uninstall Nero and Re-install, didn't work...
I'm using Windows XP Pro. SP1
Nero Burning Rom 6.3.1.6
ASPI 1.7
Thanks,
Mike Bowers

Some music CD's have copy protections built in, this will try to prevent you from copying the cd. I would recomend you look for ClonyXXL, download it, and run it to see if your CD has any protections. Also, I would recomend you use CloneCD from SlySoft to copy the CD, CloneCD much better at copying CDs that Nero. Also, what brand of CD-R are you using, and can you burn the CD on another burner?

I have try Clone CD v4.2.0.2...I put in a CD in the writer ( Music or Data ) click on next..The writer light comes on ( Green ) cd spins..and stop after 15 to 20 seconds ,while...Clone Cd said waiting on Lite-On LDW-851S
Nothing happens after that..I hit cancel...
I have been using Sony, Memorex, and other CD-R's..they have always
work till now...
Can still Read and write DVD-R...just will not read a CD, or CD-R
( Recored ) or Blank...
Thanks
Mike

Well, If the drive cannot burn any type of CD, I would recomend returning it as the CD Burning laser is probably bad, or something happened to this chipset or eeprom.
