lately my disc drive has been giving me a lot of trouble. it started with problems with connecting a few differents dvds to parallels and now whenever i try to burn a disc (w/dvd decrypter via parallels, disk util, toast) they all burn 7 KB of info and then fail, effectively becoming coasters.

i know it is an issue with the drive because i have tried various different files across dfferent programs and they have all ended up the same. provided each error message is slightly different. but i have also done the test burn setting with toast and it worked perfectly but when i did the real thing i just got another coaster.

does anybody know what might be going on and what i can do to fix it

i have a 2.2 MBP
