Re: Cyberdrive CD Burner
Hmm, That's odd. As a first step we must make sure that the laser lenses are clean and dust free. Buy a CD/DVD drive cleaner CD from a local computer store and follow the instructions. It'll clean the lense assembly.

Re: Cyberdrive CD Burner
If your cyberdrive installed a driver, try uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it. That might work.
Also have you tried deleting the upper/lower filters from the registry? This sometimes affect CD burners/writers, specially if you installed or are using itunes... |

Re: Cyberdrive CD Burner
Change the external cable unit that connects your pc and the extrenal cd writer,
Hopefully it will work, If not then uninstall the driver and the run a complete antivirus scan. thereafter, Reconnect the drive and install driver... |
