Starting about 2 months ago cd burner started occasionally telling me that a blank disc needed to be inserted even though there was one (100% new, quality disc). Then it started doing it all the time. Then the PC stopped recognizing that there even was a cd burner all together (for example, double click a file > the "send to" drop-down stopped listing the burner; and WMP would tell me to "connect a burner and restart ..." when I'd click BURN. I use Nero and can perfectly copy a disc from the PC's player onto a blank in this "problem" burner. It is a Sony burner that came bundled with Cyberlink Power DVD software. I contacted Microsoft, Cyberlink and Sony, we ran all kinds of tests on the burner and they assured me that it's running perfectly. I ran Troubleshooting and Driver Update through the Devise Manager, and these systems came up OK and up to date. The only thing I can correlate with the onset of this problem is that I installed Magix MP3 Maker about this same time. I restored to as far back as I could go and it worked again, but my internet didn't work (which had never been a problem), and I returned to the present

Probably time to accept the drive is dead, and buy a new one, might as well go for a DVD/RW now as well

uninstall magix and see if that helps. if not, try re-downloading updated drivers.
