Problem with cd burner

I have a generic cd burner I bought from walmart a few years ago, and latley I've been thinking about upgrading. Anytime I burn a cd, they're corrupt, stopping at the data verificaton part. I've been using Nero, but I had similar results from something called Deepburner I got off Google. I'm afraid to buy anything cheap now because of this, and I was wondering if anyone has a reccomendation on dvd burners or a way to fix my current cd burner.

Enter the DVD-R world, now is the best time. The prices aren't getting any lower than this and the technology isn't getting any better.

Or you could try burning at a slower speed on your current one. That's the best you can do to prevent corruption.

same thing happened to me, it was a lite-on cd burner, but in a generic brown box at the store. i learnt to pay the extra £15 for the retail version with warranty for my dvd burner.

Typically, LiteOn drives are middling-to-good quality.  I still miss mine-- I had a 24x lite-on drive that way outperformed my 40x panasonic

My MSI CD-RW drive, a generic black tray loader with HiSpeed CD-RW and DVD-ROM logos, works just fine.  It falls right in the area of "not popular enough to have the firmware tampered with to prevent game copying" and "not cheap enough to be generic and shitty".

I guess my next computer purchase will have a DVD-R or DVD-RW drive.

The best burners to buy are NEC's (ND-2500A and successors). They write discs 99% as high quality as a Plextor, and cost 99% as cheap as a cheap drive.
