| Any programs out there to test if a Dvd burner is failing. I have a 4 year old liteon burner thats killing DVD+RW disks. Thanks for any help. |

| You can do a transfer rate test & burst rate test using NERO CD/DVD SPEED. Post the results here and we can tell you if they are normal or if it indicates your drive is dying.
Here's the download for NERO CD/DVD SPEED. Just unzip it to your desktop. http://www.cdspeed2000.com/download.html#nerocdspeed DVD burners are so damn cheap these days and you can also get free shipping from online retailers like Newegg.com. These are my choices in that order if I wanted a new IDE DVD Burner.

| Thanks I'll do just that. Thanks for the program link and newegg links. The Pioneer looks pretty good. |
