I have a dual boot Vista 64 Ultimate/XP Pro machine with Itunes installed on both OS versions. If I try to burn a playlist in Vista 64, a few seconds into the burn, the Plextor 716SA stops burning, giving me a coaster. I've reinstalled Vista with the same result. If I run XP, it burns without a problem. The SATA is running as AHCI.

Does anyone have any ideas on this? I thought about swapping out the DVD drive, but is it worth the trouble? Obviously, the drive works. It will even burn a full disc in Vista if I use Windows Media Player.

You have the latest itunes? Apple resolved that issue in later builds. The problem was it wasen't including the gears driver for burning.

You can download it manually here:

Thanks. I had tried that from my previous 'googling' with no success. It was something with Vista and the Plextor drive. I put in a spare drive from work to test and now, it works fine. I'll just put another burner in it.
