Hey guys, I have a stck of blank CD's till up to now I have been able to burn onto. Tried a buddy of mine's blank CD and the same thing happens:

CD Reads Copyrighted and not blank but IS blank!

I get this error for ANY CD burning software I use inCLUDING MediaPlayer 11's plugin!

Anyone know what's going on ?

My burner is: HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H50N

Sounds like stubborn DRM. Are you using Windows Vista?

I'm using Windows XP with VistaCodec Pack 4.4.8...I've tested this on my PIII system and it burned fine...here's a pic with Nero:

You probably have a bad burner.

Try a different burner and see if you have the same problem.

That don't sound like a bad CD drive!

A bad CD drive usually causes the dreaded "Track or focus error" or "Could not perform fixation" errors.

Pull the burner and try in another computer. If same response as first computer, definitely a bad burner....

Turns out the whole time i had bad drivers. Went and bought a new burner and the same thing happened but when I did a reformat and re-install, all worked fine! :S at least the new burner didn't cost much!
