I never really had to burn anything but recently I had to burn a dvd and could not. I have a HP dv6700 laptop and when I put a cd or dvd to burn it never does. It seem to get stuck there, or will finish and never have been burnt to the disk. I read some where that it may actually be a soft ware issue. I called up the maker of the laptop and he told me that yeah he has had many issues over it (I was out of warraty). Any one know of anything I can do?
