Title: cd burning
Post by: Perfect Agent52 on January 28, 2006, 05:00:44 PM

I am using Maxell cd-r for some cd burning. I have been using these cd's forever, and today, my computer won't read any cd-r's anymore.

Try that drive on another computer. The optics can give out although the mechanical portion (drawer opens and closes) continues to fiunction. Luckily they are cheap. How old is it? It sounds like you use it a lot.  ;)

I have tried on my family's computer, and it works fine. But it doesn't display in the drive at all on my computer. I just bought some new ones today. Fresh out of the case.

Is it recognized in the BIOS? Is it recognized in My Computer? Any yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager? What operating system?
