Please clarify problem is only for writing,or for playing also.Possible cause may be a dirty lens of the dvd writer.Try a lens cleaning cd.Or your DVD writing software may be corrupted.Try reinstalling Nero or other software you are using.Or one more possible cause may be a faulty datacable,I.e the cable that connect dvd writer to mother board.Check data cable as well.try these things.your problem may be solved.If not contact service center of the brand u r using.

what error you get while you try to burn, can you explain it, I mean is it starting to burn and completes to fail or is it failing to initate right from beginning

have you tried resetting DMA, if not try it. I think its a common problem in DVD burners and you need to keep thisDMA reset

after this step try burning your dvd
