do a search on google as well
lots of info
First look at this - http://www.cdrfaq.org/faq04.html#S4-12
When Media player starts a new session it can end-up locking the drive not allowing any other discs to be burned apart from the first disc used for that session - dave23ni this sounds like this is the cause of your issue. I would suggest going into the Tools/options of Windows Media Player and disabling the cd-recorder capabilty of the software. Its never a good idea to have 2 different types of burning software. Windows Media has plug-in called Adapt Burning ROM, this needs disabled if you do not use Media Player to burn, If you go to uninstall the program you will see 'uninstall components', which will allow you to remove the plug-in.

www.tigerdirect.ca has some good brand name dvdrw dual layer 18x ones for 50 bucks. Changing is simple, remove the case sides/side, remove the holding screws, or clips depends on your case, then theres a power plug from the power supply and information plug from the mobo.

if you buy anything other than pioneer or plextor i'm going to make sure i never ever help you with your computer again.
i tend to always go with pioneer though.. it's cheaper and not much different.
