seriously? Ok I'll report later (LOL for me in advanced if I break it)

I never heard of cleaning disc I am going to search for them on google,and see what I can find out. And about buying new things,sorry I am really poor at this time. IS there any homemade solution,what? is a cleaning disc some kinda regular cd,with attached spunge or cotton ro clean the lens? I am pretty sure I can make one

After I did all suggested things you guys mentioned I got this errors I 16:21:35 ImgBurn Version 2.4.1.0 started!

One question, is it possible for a cd burner to have a hardware problem where it can burn normal cdr,but not cdrw's?I would think that if there was a problem with the cd burner it wouldnt burn any kind of discs at all.

Than's I'll be right back to report

I tried looking for an update on google ,and I am totally lost,sorry I am a real beginner here. I can burn normal cdr , but not any cdrw's, and it's not the disc cause my friend can erase and put files on the same disc with no problem. Please help,I have no audio on my computer ( dont know why) and I am a big anime fan, so the only hope I have left is to burn anime on cdrw's and watch them on my actual dvd home player. Thank's in advance

Tried multiple brands of cdrw's I always get the same result burning data or erasing. I 03:49:15 ImgBurn Version 2.3.0.0 started!
