Please help me..I have lost almost 4 DVDs in writing..and I don't want to lose anymore..

When ever I start writing the DVDs..at goes right untill I click on "Burn"....after that sometimes..the DVD writes upto 100% and the computer hangs up..and sometimes..it gives Writing error..in 6 % or like that..

I don't know what is the problem..first impression was that my DVDs are not working..but after using 4 DVDs I don't think there is anything wrong with the DVDs..what may be the problem..

Please help...

Maybe u don't have enuf free space in ur cache.
U need about 4.5GB free space in the working drive.

In Nero.. advanced options... Path for cache can be pointed to a drive which has 4.5GB free.

And don't do multitakin when burnin... no other program runnin...

I think you should also set the burning process to high priority, so that the system gives due importance to it. Go to task manager and do this, every time you start a new burn process..

I have another drive as cache which has more than 15 GB or space free..so I don't think it can create any problem..

The DVD RW is just 20 days old..and it is of sony..

So do I go to the service center..and ask for a complete replacement if there is anything wrong with the drive..or just ask them to repair for me..

One thing ..there is no problem with the burning of CDs..

If it is sony, you may have to visit service center. Alternatively upgrade firmware to accept wide range of local media or change your blank media and then see the results.

Sony is known to have such problems with local media. Also Sony is manufactured by LightOn and therefore, it will try to keep itself ahead & try to push Sony back.

I'm not sure.. but it'll take extreme bad luck for anything to go wrong.. :D IT's as simple as running an .exe file. That's it.. And as long as you upgrade to a firmware provided at the official sony site, I think there's no reason to void warranty.. not sure about this though...
