Hi,

Follow these steps and check if it fixes the problem:

•Verify that the CD burner is connected properly.
•Clean the disc and verify that it is not damaged.
•Try a different brand of blank discs.
•If another program is currently burning files to the CD, wait until the burning process is complete.
•Quit other programs that might be using the CD burner.
•Restart Windows Media Player.
•Restart your computer.

Also Open the Playing and Burning CDs, DVDs, and Blu‑ray Discs troubleshooter.

Select a slower recording speed and check if it helps.

1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Devices tab.
2. In Devices, double-click the CD burner, and then click the Recording tab.
3. In the write-speed list, select a slower speed.

Hello kezzie1985,

If the above steps don't help, you might try the CD/DVD troubleshooter listed here. There is an automatic FIXIT that will run and try to diagnosis your issue. I have run this before and it fixed my problem with my DVD not burning.

Please reply back with an update.
