I was in the middle of burning a CD... and it stopped writing. Now it gets about 5% done and then doesn't go any farther and the writing light goes on and off. I've tried different programs and the buffers are all full.

Sigh... another burner killed after a year. I've burned 500-750 CDs with it... is that a normal life span?

suppose, I never made it to 500 with any of the HP burners I used to have.
