Why isn't my CD burner not working?

Question

I have tried numerous times to burn a cd. It burns about 5-7 songs and then cancels. A message pops up saying something about error 4450. I usually burn my CD's with iTunes, but I have also tried with Windows Media Player. All of my disk are CD-R that I have used in the past, same brand and all. I have a HP Pavillion. And I recently restored my whole computer to clean out all the viruses and I updated every thing also.

Answer 1

I had the same problem but fortunately I had an extra CD burner which worked perfectly. You may have to buy a new one. It costs around $50.

Try cleaning your CD-ROM drive. I also experienced it once and all I did was to clean my CD-ROM and tadda it can burn again.
