Sorry, yes i used a cleaning disc, i thought might be better to get at the lens and use Q tip and cleaning liquid. I have try to burn some more disc since, 1 success out of 4 trys.

Thanks, could it be a dirty lens? or can i count this out

I don't have another drive and the discs were burning before,the only thing i have done lately is put a new hard drive in. It burned a dics on thursday ok , then everything else has failed. Clifford
