try reinstalling the drivers
1. click start, click run, type sysdm.cpl in the open box, and then click ok.
2. on the hardware tab, click device manager.
3. click the drive that uses the driver you want to remove.
4. on the action menu, click uninstall.
when you are prompted to confirm the removal, click ok.
5. on the action menu, click scan for hardware changes.

check that there are no files waiting to be burned as this sometimes causes the problem. other than that, the drive has probably failed. pc world has the oem version of the liteon 20x dual layer burner for £25 at the moment, which is a bargain.

try a different brand of disk, cd writers can be so fickle, also update the firmware for the drive, i do realise that a lot of people are scared of updating firmware but if its not working after trying a new brand of disk, you have nothing to lose.
