Plextor PX-716Sa playing up :-(

I was able to burn any dvd I liked, then it was only dvd rw discs that I could burn to, now I cannot burn any DVD :-( I tried reinstalling Nero and tried Clone DVD instead .... no joy :-(

I can prepare the files for burning in Nero but then all I get is "waiting for the drive to become ready" appearing in a pop up window ( the burn icon is by then greyed out )

I have no idea how to fix this :-( Please help, I have data files to burn etc. I have not interefered ie changed any settings.

Thank you.

Sounds like the drive is shot. I would also suggest going into Device Manager, find the Plex, uninstall it then reboot. It doesn't sound like a software problem.
I wouldn't worry too much about it I've had a number of burners go bad (4).

As long as you have all software you can get a major brand OEM burner for about $30. I would avoid Samsung and Sony. The LG's are usually pretty good with a lot of different media.
