I din't find any answers that i wanted related to my problem. I just don't seem to understand why i aint able to complete the cd writing process. I am a p4 win xp user and whenever i try to write something onto the cd it gives an erroro message saying it cant complete...please give a reply soon...i haven't been able to copy anything onto a CD eventhough having a cd writer

When i try to burn a cd, i put the blank cd in but my computor tells me there is no cd. Can this be solved??

I can't get mine to work either.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRSSS!!

I bought a used Toshiba Satellite 1800 which has a DVD CDRW and when I try to use a CD with music the sound level is low. Under play volume when I click on up nothing happens. F 10 doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions?
Thanks

GOOD MORNING, HAD AOL VERSION 7.O EVERYTHING WORKING FINE. COULD PLAY MUSIC CD'S, DVD AND BURN EVERYTHING OK. THEN I GOT VERSION 9.0 AND LOADED THIS ON AND UNINSTALLED THE VERSION 7.0 NOW NOTHING WORKS. TRIED TO LOAD 7.0 VERSION BACK , BUT CAN'T AS CD ROM DRIVE GOES ROUND ONCE AND STOPS. TRIED USING REALPLAYER, WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER TO HELP. NO JOY. PLEASE CAN YOU HELP. THANK YOU.

i had recently burned a cd in my computer in my cd-rom but the problem is that after it got burned my cd-rom didn't work anymore. i try to put cd's in it but it won't read it and when i try to go to Windows Media Player it says that my computer has no device to read the cd. how come is that??? PLEASE HELP!

My DVD ROM is not reading CDs or DVDs. My hard drive recently crashed. I replaced the hard drive and after loading all my software back on the new hard drive the DVD ROM stoped working. It looks like its working and then stops. I deleted it and even had Windows rediscover it, so it shows that the drive exists, but it will not show anything when I put media into it.

Ok I read the article but it doesn't answer my question... My problem is that my cd rom will read some games but not all. I can't seem to install anything new. When I put a instal disk in it spins around once but nothing else happens. When I open up the cd rom file it has no info regaurding the game in it. Do I need a new cd rom?

Thank you.
