Cannot Burn DVDs even with Snow Leopard

I have not been able to burn dvd's in either of my drives for over a month now. I can't do it in Toast or Disk Utility. I've tried cleaning the lenses and the "international fix," nothing works. I've come to the conclusion it's something in the most recent software that has changed something. Is there some way to install 10.4 on one of my external hard drives so I can boot up from that and try it? I downloaded 10.4.4 and 10.4.7 server update, but neither will let me install them. These drives aren't that old and since both stopped at the same time, it can't just be the drives.
