    If you guys tell me to check and make sure that the CD burner is connected; been there, done that.
    If you guys tell me to uninstall the device, then reinstall; He does that
    If you guys tell me to try new disks; summer it does this as well.
    I lowered the burn speed ect.

    I did everything possible. I can burn a disc once or a little then next I get this error.

    I still have to burn the disc from system restore and I fear for fear of getting this error. I think I have the external writer since bad things is a good idea to test things before putting.
