cd/dvd burning problems

[Karen]

For the past few months, my dvd burner will not completely burn cds or dvds.
It burns partially (maybe 4 songs out of 20) and partially burns dvd home
video etc... to disk too. Then I get an error message saying burn failed.
I have tried this with several different software programs and get the same
result. Before I reformat the hard drive, or take the computer to a shop, I
wondered if anyone has encountered this before and do you think it is a
software problem, or has my burner failed? I have an HP Media Center 873n.
Thanks for any insight.
