Problem burning CD's

[scotlovesmacs]

Hi. When I attempt a CD burn, it always ends with "burn failed, disk could not be verified". Some data comes through on the burned disk, such as about 50% of pictures if that's what I was attempting to save, and sometimes all items will appear on my Mac, but few if any will appear on a Windows machine, and the disk will freeze up a Windows machine.

I can't find anything that might correct this with settings in System Prefs, and I don't know if this is a software/system issue or hardware problem/failure.

The hardware listed in About This Mac is:
PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-104:

Model: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-104
Revision: 1.33
Serial Number: MBGDC073879WL
Detachable Drive: No
Protocol: ATAPI
Unit Number: 0
Socket Type: Internal

Any help is greatly appreciated. This burner is useless to me as it stands now. Thanks again.

Scot.

Reset your Pram and also get a can of compressed air and blow out the dust in you Mac's DVD drive (if the machine is a little old).
