A similar thing happened to me (Not HDD failure but coasters).
Tried uninstalling and re-installing burning programs but to no avail...

Are you using win2k/xp if so Browse to (in the registry)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{CE5939AE-EBDE-11D0-B181-0000F8753EC4}

And check the value of LowerFilters, this is the set of filters that get used between the data leaving your HDD and getting to your CDRW. I had a broken filter. I deleted them all (cleared the key) and re-installed the burning programs I used.

This fixed it for me (saved a re-install..) do I need to mention be carefull editing the registry and make a backup first.

Hope this helps...

Well not wanting to have to try and tweak the reg. I am going to try and re-install my dvd burner update drivers etc. I am just glad to hear there is a chance my cd-rw isn't dead!
