Hi


I have a sony DVD writer which I bought 6 months back,

And the problem is when ever I'm trying to write data in DvD's labeled DVD -R The drive is writing 1-3 % and after that it is showing a Error message cannot Write the Data, I've tried using various DVD brands but the result is same.

I've also tried changing the nero software installed various versions of nero.


Help me out!!:?

Seems like its time to utilize its warranty.
But before that clean the lens of the drive and check the connections to the drive!
