sometimes i got error during dvd writing and it appears excatly at 98% or 99%.
and computer needs restart to get tray comesout.

there is one more problem i.e. after writing 1 dvd my writer takes around 20 minutes to copy another dvd. and after restarting the pc it takes 7 minutes only.

so friends if anyone of you have any idea about this then please ...

Check the lenses. Clean them using a Lens Cleaner
Uninstall and reinstall the drivers of the writer
Try writing at slower speeds

nope its quiet a general thing, happened on my laptop.
If Driver upgrades and all done. good you should do that. But these will not solve the problem

Do DMA reset, search in google and you will find a vbscript download it and run, reboot and see what happens. If anytime you see your burner is taking alot much time do this.

20 mins is alright and is understandable if you got 8x burner. But mine went as long as 40 minutes, and people here suggested me that and I found it to be the soultion.
