Problems with Lite-on LTR-52327S CD-R/CD-RW. Doesnt burn!

Hi!,

I recently bought a Lite-on LTR-52327S CD-R/CD-RW drive and was happy with
its performance until I recently developed problems. The drive now does not
complete the "burn" sequence.


Using Nero, it goes through all the successful motions as if it was burning,
when the process is complete and the drive is verifying the data I get the
following error messages;

· "Cannot mount the written CD", and

· "Data verification failed".


In the end I am left with a blank disc. This happens for a number of
different types of CD-R and CD-RW discs and the same thing happens if I use
InCD, WinXP writer and Burn4Free burn software. I've tried removing the
hardware and software and reinstalling and the same thing happens.

I am running WinXP, firmware version QS09 and the text file output does say
"Status: 0x04 (0x01, SCSI_ERR)". I do have two harddrives and a DVD Rom
drive which is the "Slave" (the CDR as "Master").


I don't know what I have installed or changed to make the drive not "burn".
Is the CDR drive now faulty? Any assistance would be great.


Thanx



Troy
