Toshiba M45 S355 laptop. Worked fine two weeks ago. Now it "burns" for about two minutes, then says "there was an error" and stops. Tried two different brands of blank CDs and three different software applications (all of which previously worked). Also tried reducing the burn speed to 24X, 16X, 8X. Reduced the content being copied from 600MB to 400MB and then to 200MB. Also tried copying an entirely different set of files. Ran two different antivirus scans and found nothing. Shut down all unnecessary applications to reduce the load on system resources. Still getting the same problem.
Any ideas?

Probably a problem with the actual drive itself, call the manufacturer and ask them for a solution or a new drive.

maybe the file you are trying to burn is corrupted!
