Dvd burner is not working - Dell Dimension 2400 PC Desktop

please try upgrade firmware of the device, if it won't work it may be a disc fault [made broken by factory] if not just replace device using warranty

Your dvd must be not supporting the burning process on dvd's and thus stops spinning or it may be in a error condition.

Is you burner a dvd writer? FYI only dvd readers and writers can read dvd's . CD writers can't read dvd's.

why can't i burn a dvd or cd on my used dvd rewritable drive the destination drive won't show my dvd burner?

Laser either dirty or starting to go.Try cleaning laser with commerical disc cleaner,put a drop of rubbing alcohol on brushing.Laser can be cleaned manually with a Q tip dipped in rubbing alcohol but this requires opening burner.If you do this MAKE CERTAIN ELECTRICAL PLUG IS PULLED,lasers cause nasty burns.
Some times the problem is just the brand of disc,some brands don''t work in Liteon's.
If laser is going the burner can be replaced.Most of the Liteon 5001's used Liteon 401s burners,411s or 451s dvd burners all will work.The dvd burners mount from the bottom PC burners mount from the side so they would have to be adapted,many PC burners won't work in these older liteons some freeze up the second you hit fast forward.

are you able to play dvd movies? what operating system are you using? what dvd burning software are you using?

It's not a DVD burner, it's a dvd player and a cd burner.

simple as it sounds...unplug the sharestation for a few seconds. this seems to reset it and it may work for you. when you do this, turn off the camera also, kinda resetting the whole system

Sounds like you are right. DVD burners are not too expensive these days. You might save yourself a lot of headache if you just replace it.
