Oh, OK. This is a new used drive. On my earlier drive I could write to DVDs too. I replaced that one because I could no longer read DVDs. I don't know about writing to it but I imagine that didn't work either. My DVD drive is a little non-standard. Its a slim drive but the connectors are a little different. It is an ultrabay enhanced drive that works with the IBM/Lenovo ultradrive. It allows you to take the drive in and out more conveniently and it has a bay that can accept a HD too. Thanks for the explanation. I'll keep this in mind when looking for a replacement.

I am having burning an ISO file onto a DVD. When I tried using Windows Disk Image burner I get an error. The error code is 0x80004005 I then tried imgburn and I got this error message: Device Not Ready (no reference position found) The log file is below: I 02:46:44 ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 started!

I also tried using a lens cleaner CD to see if that would help which it didn't. I still couldn't burn a iso image to a disk. Does anyone have any suggestions of anything I might try? Thanks
