Possible heating issue? I had a Yamaha CD burner that would stop responding after burning one or two CDs. Shutting down the machine and letting the CD burner cool off helped. However, after a while, it stopped working.

What OS are you running? What CD burning software are you using? What is the make of your CD burner? How old is your PC/what motherboard is it using?

Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him...a super-callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

Also, you can try this: reseat the IDE connection to your motherboard and all your drives.

Try unplugging the IDE cable from your non-burning CD-ROM, in case your CD-ROM is flaking out and interfering with your CD burner (I had an Asus 50x CD-ROM which would never fail to screw up the CD burner attached to it...piece of garbage that drive is!).
