Cd burner my computer reboots its self when i try to burn cds wheb it get done converting and start to copy it reboot

I'd try updating the cd rom firmware, check the device manager to see which one you've got, before that though try just uninstalling it and rebooting the computer and then burning.

Also clean the laser with a dry q-tip and finally give imgburn a shot.

Let me know if you have any other questions or need specifics.

try a different type/brand of dvdrw you may have a bad batch

Do you have skipping on every DVD/CD you burn? If so, then you're probably experiencing what's called 'buffer underrun'. When that happens, the burner writes faster than the computer can send it information, resulting in skipping. In the program you use, look for the 'burn options' and change the speed from 'automatic' to a manual, slower setting. That should fix your problem.

Hi There,

Windows XP doesn't support burning DVDs, only CDs. You need to install an application that will burn DVDs. There are several;

I hope this helps.

Try reinstalling the drivers for your CD bay.

Either the CD that came with the bay, or find them online ....

Right-Clickie your My Computer and find the name of your CD Bay in the list on the Hardware page ... delete it, or right-clickie and uninstall the driver.

Reboot the computer and it should re-detect the drive, or find the drivers you copied earlier.

If that doesn't solve the problem, then it might be the type of CDs that you are using. Have you changed brands lately??

have you tried to reboot the laptop.
or unistall the utilty and install it again.

Hi,
This could be several issues.
Firstly there could be a format compatability error.
if the burner is looking for Wavs and finding MP3s, then you,ll need to convert the formats, for compatability.
Secondly this could be a copyright protection function, if the cd your trying to copy is protected, then the writer will refuse to copy the files. ( can Sometimes happen if downloaded )
I,d suggest locating some better Software, for your writer.
Or re-installing your original packet-writing software that came with the writer.
Hope this points you in the right direction.

Try to burn a DVD -- each "blank" DVD costs about $0.30, so it would be a "worthwhile" experiment.

Try pulling the DVD drive, and trying it in some other computer, just to see if there is a software (including virus) issue on your computer.

Or, spend $40 to buy a brand-new CD/DVD reader/writer.
