hi,
my dvd rw will not burn any dvd or cds, it will read cds and dvds no problem.
this problem has only been the last few weeks, i have not installed any new hardware or drivers.
i have tried burning with nero, alcohol and my inbuilt software (nti) each of them will start to write the disc (i have tried cd and dvd) but will then stop, saying either unable to write or "illegal operation"
here is the error log from my inbuilt software:
