I used to be able to burn my stuff onto cds using nero 6 express, however recently i tried to burn but failed miserably. It hangs at 3% and the log tells me of invalid write state and something about the speed and refuses to burn at all. I am using the same brand of cds and only 1 of the 50 cds can work. i uninstalled nero 6, clean it with the tools from nero.com and updated the latest patches and still got defeated by a program. My sister who uses Roxio is able to burn a couple of my cds successfully but i couldnt with Nero. (take note that i burned it before and only 1 worked) Much help is appreciated thanks

[Edit]: I cant use Roxio as i do not have an E drive. Is there another program similar to nero which allows me to burn cds or can my problem with nero be solved?

1. Have you tried any other brands of CD's?
2. How old is your burner? Have you had any other problems with burning?
3. How old is your power supply? Any other problems with your PC, such as freezes or random restarts?

I appreciate your replies.

1. I've tried 3 brand of cds. One from a friend which all successfully worked, my own which 1 out of 50 worked and one of my sister's one which did not work at all.

2. My burner's pretty old. give or take 5 years+ but it still works quite well until the recent problems

3. My PC is in good shape, I run regular spyware/adware check and i don't download porn stuff.

I had a very similar problem with my PC in the summer of 2004 and the only way I was able to fix this was to have the burner replaced (under warranty, thankfully). Depending on how much use your burner's seen in 5+ years, the laser could very well be on its last legs. They can just die with no notice or obvious symptoms, and five years is pretty long in the tooth.
Just my two centavos.

Thanks for all your replies everyone. Here is a error log i saved. I switched to Nero 7 but still failed, was trying to burn anime and I've burned it before loads of times. I believe the problem is with the cds or burner.

Here's an alternative to Nero that works fine for me:
http://www.deepburner.com/?r=download
Try the free version. Small, powerful, easy. If THIS fails then I'd personally suspect a dying burner or a power supply that can't put out enough juice to feed your burner. I still suspect the burner, however.

If it is the burner, they are not very expensive by any means to replace so check out some of the popular internet stores to see what you can get.

Newegg.com, tigerdirect.com, etc
