What speeds are you burning at ? If possible, lower the speed and then burn. Also, try changing the media. Switch to a better brand like Moser Baer (In case you're not using it already).

i write at 12x mostly. and for the media i use orignal sony dvd's(with jewel case) dude.i don't think there is a better media out there.
should i try lens cleaning.
which lens cleaner should i use,and will it void my warranty???

i found a new thing. last night i switched off my p.c with the dvd in the drive.today when i started it the dvd was shown in the dvd drive in my computer,just like normally.and i cud play all songs and everything was working normally.but i ejected it and re inserted it and it again disappeared i.e did not show in my computer.

maybe this sounds stupid but i think your wire is lose, open the CPU & try to re-instert it in the DVD drive, maybe it will fix the problem

i have a 915 gav intel orignal mobo.it has only one port for parrallal ata so i have my cd writer and dvd writer connected to it. sometimes it only shows my dvd writer and not cd writer.
i think the loose wire thing is right . i will try it.

Try upgrading the firmware as it may not support the writting. U will get it on the com`s website
