disc writing problem

[rakee]

My pc---windows xp pro sp2,256 mb ddr,80 gb,amd athlon xp 2400,LG DVD reader/CD writer

combo drive.
The problem---The combo drive is not writing the cds.Burning always starts and stops

at 5% or 99%.I have wasted nearly 20 cds this month.I tried with different brands of

cdr's.
The cds burn completely only if i choose 8X speed which takes up time upto 10-15 mins.
I uninstalled the nero oem pack and installed nero ultra edition 6..but the same

result.I have never cleaned the drive using a cleaning disc..is that a problem.

Can u pats help me out figure whas the solution..
thanx and expecting

try defrgmenting ur HD before the write process

and be careful with the speeds which the CD and the drive support
