Hi there,
Hmmm. Sounds like you might have a faulty writer matey.
What make is the writer & what brand of cdr's are you using?
What are you trying to copy?
Try different make of CDR's.
Update the copying software to latest version. Could be your drive is not fully compatible with current version.
Try different copying software completely.
Try copying something easy like an audio cd.
If it fails on that, above assumption seems to be true.
If you are okay with dabbling inside the pc, move the writer to a different IDE channel to the source cd rom drive.
Either set as master on 2nd ide channel on its own, or slave it with the harddrive.
Are you trying to burn "on the fly".
If so, & you don't have a burnproof drive, DON'T. Try burning to harddrive first as an image, then from image to writer.
Like I say, sounds like the writer might actually be faulty, message "HARDWARE FAILURE" is not good in any instance, but try the above suggestions to whittle the problem down further.
Maybe someone else has some ideas??

Hope it helps.
