howdy, need some help if anyone has an idea on this one.  my CD writer is not 
working.  it will burn the files, but when it comes time to fixate it goes 
into a fit and finally dies on me.

any leads on this, is it hardware or software would be appreciated.  thanks 
for any & all assistance
thanks
Adrian
