Problems with my Cd-Rom drive.

Talfuchre · 02-17-2007, 11:16 AM

My Cd-Rom on my two year old E-Machines has decided not to read blank discs.

I have tried three different types of discs and uninstalled and reinstalled the driver for the CD-Rom.

Any suggestions?

It will read CD-RW and normal CD's - both data and music - but it will not recognize blank CD's.

you mean to say that your burning software doesn't recognize that there is a blank disk in the burner?

I don't think so.

No matter what program I use: I-Tunes, Windows Media Player, or even the Drag and Drop option that Windows has onboard - the disk is not recognized in the CD-Rom drive.

No matter the program I use - when I get ready to burn a CD - It starts to spin up - stops - starts to spin up - stops - starts to spin up - until the program says either that there is no disk in the drive or that I need to put a blank disc in the drive.

Thoughts?
