it might be the programs your using to burn your dvds try using windows dvd maker if you have the operating system vista or convert x to dvd if you have xp that should work
Its only cd writer burner and can only that it can read dvd disc also. That is why its called combo. But burning blank dvd it can't. But if you want buy some dvdburner too.
There might be a lense problem in your cd dvd writer,if you are burning dvds check whether it is combo or dvd writer, because combo drive only reads dvd but not burning...
or attach your writer to any other system to know whether there is a problem with your writer or with your burning software.
if it runs ok with other system ,means there is a problem with your burning software i.e nero 8...
