The error message could point to a bad medium. Try with another disk (and/or brand).

Sure. Failing optical drive can burn one type of medium and not the other.

5 CD/DVD-RW's of the same brand/lot does not count. It might not be fair but these optical drives can be picky. Just the way it is. For most easier just finding the brands that work vs Optical drive replacement. CD/DVD-RW's are the worst. As a matter of fact people still use those? Far to unreliable for data back up and since I can get blank CD's for 10 cents not like cost is a benefit.

Optical storage is not a good medium for the backup of critical data. Both failure rate and cost. It's only benefit is mobility.

Rant/over.

You might spend more time returning drives than using. Sorry.

CD/DVD-RW as a technology never materialized. That is just fact. It's caveat was you could do backups. It's value "killer application" was never recording music and changing every day. It was back up. The cost of HDD's and the increased backup capacity needed killed prior to the technological shortcomings. USB memory sticks also killed.

Usage of the device has nothing to do with it being failing. I see optical drives lasting forever (yes - forever) and many that lasted just after one usage. (Bad)luck of the draw.

Ok many thanks for your help.

I guess all I am saying is I don't like RW. I have had issues with certain brand media not working while others worked fine. I have read much about this. Before writing optical drive off as a fail try a different brand disc. But really I don't like RW. If it works now in 6 months when you need will it work? That is the problem. This problem is true for all burned media much more true for RW.

You might have a bad optical drive. I am not ruling out.

OK looking more and more like a bad drive. It plays DVD's? Just doesn't write?
