Hi there guys, I am using a very old Pentium 4 machine and it has a Samsung DVD writer. I bought several CD - RW of Sony and a few DVD - RW. None of them is working properly, whenever I try to burn them using Nero it says "burning failed". I just have one DVD + RW and only that is working fine. When I put the CD's and DVD's in my DVD writer and try opening using my computer I get the message, "Not accessible, Incorrect function". Can you guys tell me what should I do?

Try a lens cleaner.
It is better to replace the drive if it is too old. (and not maintained/used for many days)

I don't think Rs 100 makes much of a difference so I should go about with the Asus, does Asus provide good warranty by the way?

Plus in the supported discs section it says: Audio CD, Video CD, CD-I, CD-Extra, Photo CD, CD-Text, CD-ROM / XA, Multi-session CD, DVD Video

Doesnt it support any DVD's and all?

Its not the warranty I am worried about, I checked all the others writers which Flipkart has listed and nearly all of them support DVD + RW, DVD - R DL as well but this Asus one does not.
