Faulty CD-RW drive on 5680?

Thread Starter 
I have a Sager 5680 with a Toshiba SD-R2412 CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo. When I attempt to burn any CD with nero 6, the system locks up hard. Attempting to burn a CD in linux causes a reboot during the process. I am using Fuji Film 48x media made by TY. Otherwise, the drive reads CD's and DVD's fine. How much of the burning process completes varies greatly, but it is usually somewhere from 50 - 300MB into the CD. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks.

Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling Nero? If it's a Windows problem it might be hard to find what to correct. A repair installation might do the trick.

Hmmm. Do you have InCD installed? If so, do a search here on the forums - it seems to be the cause of lock-up problems for the burners...

Yes, I did hear of that. I do not believe that it is installed, however. I am going to try reinstalling Nero to see for sure. However, that would not explain the problems in linux as well (unless the drive doesn't play well with linux for some reason)

Thanks.

Well, I reinstalled Nero 6 (without InCD, but it was never installed before). I don't seem to be having problems burning CD's in Windows anymore. Maybe I jumped the gun when I had two consecuitive failures (in two different OS's). Hopefully it was just a fluke. I will have to do some research on the linux problem. Thanks for all of your suggestions.

Well, the CD burner still is giving me problems. The other day, my system rebooted while burning a CD in Windows XP using Nero 6, similar behavior cd burning in Linux. The system is otherwise extremely stable. I do not believe the problem exists with any software. Any other ideas?

They really used a crappy burner. Someone once said it was the media used.. Which is a big negative.
