Strange DVD Burner probems



Hi,
I have an I8600 with a NEC DVD+-RW ND-6500A drive. The problem is that I
have been having trouble reading burnt DVD+R disks (not sure about -R as
havent been using these).

Now at the moment I have a stack of disks (all the same brand) that were all
burnt in this drive using Sonic RecordNow! and yet most will read fine but
some will not. The disks that wouldn't read properly I then tried in another
2 dvd drives I have around and read flawlesly. I have also had this problem
with some disks that a friend burnt and some will read and others wont when
all contain data.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to a fix for this problem before I
contact Tech Support as I imagine they will want me to reformat, to removing
the possiblity of a software problem which I dont particularly want to do
right now.

Thanks in advance.

Robert
