    Can't burn cds but DVDS burn fine
    :rolleyes: Hi there I have looked through the relevant forum pages and couldn't find the answer so here goes.I have a Sony DVD RW DW -D22A (cd rom drive)if I want to burn any DVD fine no problems but a different matter for cdrs.If I put a blank cdr into the drive and then try to burn all that happens is the 1drive won't open until I reboot 2 when using Nero error unrecognised burn phrase .Since this happened I have tried alc 120% etc all to no avail also I have looked in my devices everything looks fine.My computer is a 2.4 ghz amd Athlon 64 but since I bought it from tiny looks like I am up the creak without a paddle as far as getting it repaired so if there is anybody out there who could please help me I would really appreciate it

    Thank's Pete

    Did the problem start from day 1 with the burner or just now?if just now perhaps your firmware is messed up... can the drive recognize the cd?you say u need to reboot to get the disk out... I had the same problem with my old pioneer dvd burner but it turned out to be a defective unit... bought a lite-on for $40 and never regretted it since.. sry

    Have you contacted Sony tech support? It could be a firmware issue. It could also be a problem with the version of the burning software you are using. It could even be a defective drive.

    What brand computer? Where did you buy it? What warranty was offered?

    Never heard of them, but I would definitely try another brand if you have only been trying those.

    Totally agree with that statement..
    Never stick to just 1 brand of anything... all burners do not burn all disks the same.. perhaps the batch of cd'rs you received are defective.. lord knows I have had that happen to dvd's before... have you tried the cd burning function of windows yet?if that doesn't work I'm guessing you have a siftware issue more than hardware issue... just try to right click on a tune and hit ADD TO BURN LIST and try to burn
    If it doesn't work I heard about aspi drivers that control some function of burning in windows but they are a tricky thing to mess with right now since you are burning dvd'd OK...
    Out of curiosity what speed can you burn dvd's at currently?

    News flash... just checked with some other forums and it seems that you have a problemsum burner... try buying a cheap burner to use and if it works easy solution.. GET RID OF SONY...
