Have you checked to see that the drive is connected properly? Maybe a loose cable?

Edit: So you can burn to DVDs but not CDs?

what drive? i don't have a burner!!

 

[Nikolay]

Go to 'Computer' and right click your CD/DVD Drive. Go to properties and then the 'Recording' Tab. Could you post a screenshot of that?

I may be old fashioned but this is what I would do.
1. I would uninstall the DVD/CD from the device manager and reboot.
This may reinstall or find newer drivers that may work.

2. If 1 fails to change anything I would try an prove the drive is working or not.
Can you play any music CD?
Can you play any DVD movie?
If not then the only idea I would shutdown the computer
Open the case and unplug the ribbon and replace with another one.
I would also check both sides of this cable as well as the power cable.

Hope this is helpful.

[Nikolay]

Have you tried burning to a different brand of CDs? Verbatim is good.

 

[BlackOrWhite]

yes i tried a couple of CD's, but still!!
like what would it be? im so confused!! whats wrong evrey thing is perfect and its an all new windows :S

 

[Nikolay]

Your drive might not be compatible with Windows 7. Has it ever burned to a CD before? Have you ever had Windows XP?

 

[BlackOrWhite]

No i never had XP on it, i bought it with Vista home premuim 32bit. and it was working well for year and there was no problem burning. before a couple of months the problem started, i tried to go back to restore points but there was no use.
This week i installed Win7 ultimate 32bit, and here i am! :S

The only thing i noticed in your first post where you went to device mgr there's an exclamation point beside your chipset driver, that's where i would start.

I think you have a faulty drive. I think your best is to replace it. They're pretty cheap.

 

[BlackOrWhite]

Nikolay Thanks for you time. but i dont think is from the drive. i hope i'll knw soon ;s

 

[BlackOrWhite]
