after reformating my pc due to multiple virus attacks I have found that i can no longer burn dvd's, have not tried cdr's becuase i dont want to waste anymore.

I am using Nero 7, xp sp2 , and have updated the firmware on the HP 530R.

after burning everything when it goes into the mode where it checks it ...it shows tons of read errors.

older personally burned dvd's and cdr's seem to lock the puter up.

I called support and even though I could barely understand the person on the other end, I was notified that my warranty was up and they could no longer help me.

any suggestions??
