Solve : Computer stops burning audio cd at random intervals.?

1.	Solve : Computer stops burning audio cd at random intervals.?
Answer» I'm using black CD-R's, using Burn4Free. It starts and then stops at a random percentage, around 0%-20%. I've gone through 32 failed cd's and am down to my last 3, but I have a feeling it will go to 100% UNEXPLAINED! >=D Any way to increase my chances in this lottery? (Reports a "WRITER ERROR")You should have stopped wasting CD-R's. I know they're not expensive really but it saves you time from having to go get new ones anyway. Why did you not go buy a cd-rw (Rewritable CD media) when you discovered many CD-R's were not burning right and giving you problems? You could've tested the burning out without wasting new discs. Also, have you tried burning audio with wndows media player (assuming you want to make an audio cd ... one that your car's cd player deck would be able to play)?

I'm going to buy some TOMORROW, and I have tried WMP and MANY different burning software, including the one mentioned by Broni. I fear it may be the cd drive itself that's at fault. It's so odd, I was able to burn an audio cd PERFECTLY a few DAYS ago.Hi touslyxid, It's odd how a device working properly one day would all of a suddent stop working another day when you've never touched it supposedly I'm wondering, if this drive you have is also a cd/dvd drive (meaning, it also functions as a regular drive that can read/playback cd's and/or dvd's normally), do they WORK? Anyway, good luck with the CD-RW's, hopefully they work for you, let us know how it went Failing optical driver don't issue any warnings. Good last night, bad today. You can get a new drive for the money, you're gonna waste for a new packs of CDs.Quote from: Broni on June 29, 2009, 07:05:04 PM Failing optical driver don't issue any warnings.

Sounds like your burner is giving you problems and warrants a replacement ... but even if you decide to get the CD-RW's, at least, you'll be able to test out that your burns went fine before making the real deal on the CD-R's so you don't have to be wasting discs if somhow another error happsn to come your way Try burning at slower speeds, and test it with a brand name disk. Many of the cheap CD-R's are just that, and the higher the speed that you burn the disk at the greater the chances of bad data.Quote from: Broni on June 29, 2009, 06:45:59 PM Try different program, CDBurnerXP: http://cdburnerxp.se/ If no go...the burner is at fault...
