can't burn CDs...HELP!

Sonce yesterday i've been having troubles with my Samsung CD-RW drive. When i try to burn a CD with any kind of files (mp3, avi, etc.) i get a "writing error" after 4 or 5 minutes.
Im't using Sony CD-R, so the media must not be a problem, and also i've tried burning a CD using Windows XP, but i got the same result.

Here's the log from Nero:

Is anything wrong in it?
I'm thinking that my CD-RW drive must be dead...but i want to be sure.

Thanx!!

P.D: Sorry for my english.

 

U could try using InCD 2 set up a disc as (drag & drop) file storage. This will at least give u another way of testing if the CD drive is OK.

 

mmmm...that's weird.
Thanx for you'r reply creaky!
