How old is the drive? This may sound simple and stupid but did you try a dvd cleaning disk?

Umm actually yes i have and the drive is not that old its an i/o magic ide
dvd-rw 16x

Ok, the reason i ask about the drive cleaning disk is because many people think the drive is shot and it can be that simple. I really can't see what you did as being the cause. I would honestly, if you tried everything, I would seriously think the drive is faulty. It could be a bad ide cable or ide connector on the mother board. Did you try plugging another dirve in an see if you have the same problems?

no i multiposted it because different people in different groups say
different things. i know the drive isnt faulty because i burned a cd and a
dvd but when i burned a dvd then i got bored and pressed the eject button and
ctrl+alt+deleted nero then closed the tray again. From that point it just
stopped. I am recieving different solutions and it is very helpful...please
continue posting

Instead of multiposting (in your case) it is always better to Cross post. Multiposting is frowned at.

no i multiposted it because different people in different groups say
different things.

But if you cross-posted to those groups you would be able to read all
the replied in the SAME group (meaning that any reply to your cross-
posted message in ANY group would appear in all the groups you posted
too, and anyone reading it would be able to see all the replies too).

multi-posting means you have to visit the individual groups, each, to
read the replies separately and there is no merging of minds/solutions.

No you don't know the drive isn't faulty. Any one who has worked with electronics knows they can burn out, screw up, or cause errors at any given point. Coincidences happen all the time with any electronic device.
