I get error message while trying to burn anything with report that the

burns or much use. Has anyone had a problem like this and know how to go
about fixing? I tried in other computer but same results. I have replaced
this drive but don't want to trash it if it is s simple fix.
Thanks

It's a standard problem. It means that your blank is poorly matched to
your writer. In this case, it's likely that you are using a disc rated
for high speed where the drive is a low-speed. Even if the box says the
blank will write at low speed, it may not do it well or, in your case,
at all in a specific drive.

If all else fails and you don't want to replace your writer, try a
DigitalAudio blank. Though the royalty it pays and the smaller market it
has will raise its price, at least it must record at 1x, so will handle
the low speed of your drive relatively well.
