Will do; I guess I will just burn on my Desktop from now on, since replacing this drive would be a nearly impossible feat and i don't feel like carrying an external around. Thanks for your help.

I did manually clean it already, and it was no help at all. I knew someone would post to use an external, but this one worked previously and was just curious if anyone knew any possible software problems that may be to blame now? But thank you for the quick response.

Hello, I have read atleast 5 other posts with similar errors and have yet to find a reasonable solution, so i am posting my own topic with this error and hoping someone can lend a hand. Normally this is not a constant error i recieve, it is usually hit and miss with the discs which would lead me to believe they are bad discs, but lately i have been wasting an average of 6 discs a burn, so this is getting pricey and it's time i got some help with this.
