Default Burner won't burn

I have Nero 5.5. Lately, when trying to burn a disk, I
get and error stating that the CD I inserted is not
writable. Try another disk. All my CD's are CD-r or CD-
RW. Why am I getting this message? I don't think
upgrading is going to do anything.

Your problem could be that your CD writer has failed or is failing. Does
your writer read already written CDs OK?

As I said earlier, that your CD writer has failed or is failing. To check
this would involve swapping it out into another PC and seeing if it
exhibits the same problems.
