Sometimes the laser used for writing DVDs will give out on you, which will mean you can't write any DVDs. Did you have quite a few write errors recently, leading up to a complete failure? That would suggest the laser as the potential problem.I'm assuming you haven't done any driver updates recently, as well. If you have, roll those back. It doesn't seem likely at all that a driver update would make the thing stop working, but 'maybe something went wrong with a driver' is a pretty solid generic suggestion. So is 'try reinstalling the drivers for your device that's messing up,' for that matter. You might try that.You might also post the error message you're getting. I don't use the built-in Windows burning stuff much, so I'm not too terribly familiar with it.Come to that, you might try using some burning software, just to see if it'll spit out a more detailed set of diagnostics. Nero Burning ROM would be my suggestion there.</blockquote>
