Bad DVD burner?

[Miles]

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.gateway2000 (More info?)

I have a new Gateway 614GE with one of those double layer
Samsung TSST corp TS-H552B DVD burners. I am using
Nero 6 to burn DVDs. I have tried burning at 8x, 4x, and
even 2x. I have tried to burn video and data DVDs.
I have Nero set to check the data after burning. Nero ends
up with a bad data alert error every time.

I have turned off all other running programs on the computer.
Still Nero ends up with a bad data alert message.

Is there a particular different brand of blank DVD that I
should try or should I just ask Gateway for a new DVD
burner?

Try going to the manufacturer's (Samsung) web site and look for any
specifications applicable to that particular drive. I had a computer
delivered that would only accept dvd's from two specific manufacturers and
it was so defined in the specs. (However, to be completely honest, I later
had to get a warranty replacement due to a different problem and it isn't so
fussy - it's a great world.)

Good luck,

When I got my new Gateway,it had that burner in it also. I had
nothing but problems with it and never was able to burn anything.
Finally Gateway sent me a NEC burner to put in place of the Samsung
and I have had no problems since.

The original (defective) and replacement were both NEC DVD-RW ND-1300A
drives. I have had no further problems with the replacement unit.
