DVD Writer problem

[yahooo.c0m]

hi guys. I am facing a strange problem with my dvd writer. It is a Sony DRU-820A one & half years old. I use nero 6 to burn dvds. nero shows a pop-up that burn process is completed successfully. Then when I enter the DVD in the tray , I can see all the files but cannot run anything. Whenever I try to run anything from the dvd , system hangs. Only ejecting the tray solves the matter. Is it time to send it to service centre or buy a new 1? Plesae help me in this matter.

My system config : P4 2.8Ghz, D945GNT mb,2*512 ddr2 533mhz ram,160gb hd(hardly 10gb empty space only) running Win XP SP2.

Thank You

Soumya

1st off tell us does dvd burned by your drive runs in other system?

Also try after cleaning & deragmenting ur system's HDD as well.

The answer is NO. Those dvds cannot be played in other systems too. Problem is same

You need to repair your DVD writer. If in the warranty then give them to repair it.
A lot of problem i am hearing about the Sony DRU-820A. Also i see that writing speed is more slow than LG DVD writers.
