Yes the burner originally worked when i first had the burner.

I have attempted to burn multiple types of files, at different times (data, audia, and video)

Sadly I dont have a spare cd burner around to swap, but the cd burner is the one that originally came with the system.

The drive seems to be able to run cds though. And the burner begins the cd sometimes but the files are so corrupted on the disk they are unreadable.
