    If you've have tried a restart since your problems...Have you ever succesfully "burnt" a DVD? What if anything has changed since then? Is it Media type or burn speeds or software installs etc?

    How has your system been lately? The more info the better allen1971. :)

    Please advise.

    i have done alot of backups.it started today.but could the spindal servo failure mean that my dvd burner itself is shot?

    As I'm not familiar with the "spindal servo failure" message, but it sure would be handy if you could answer specific questions posted though! I have to ask have you burnt anything since? Are the files you possibly try to burn, have they been burnt before? Will this drive read files ok?etc I assume your pc still recognises the drive?

    Before we rightoff your drive completly ...... un-install ImgBurn and run a registry cleaner and make a restart (important). Then install the previous version of ImgBurn and see what goes on. If you still have no joy, at this point I'd prolly update the driver and or firmware. Failing these attempts, and this is what friends are for, take your friends known working drive (don't ask 'em just bloody well take it) and install it on your machine. If all goes well then your drive is indeed shot. Hopefully news is better than this. How'd you go?

    i tried reinstalling imgburn and updated the drivers and no go.and since my computer is a company machine they will replace my driver for free.also is it true not to make 3 or 4 copies a day or it will burn out the dvd drive.

    This just maybe a company falsehood i suspect...LOL ... who'd buy a devise with such limitations? If it's the companys machine my advise would be to "take what you can and give nothin' back" :)
