    Did you burn the CDs on the same system you are trying to view or play them on?

    What burning software did you use to make the music and/or data files?

        baller123.....  Is this issue something that has just started ?

        Have you tried uninstalling the DVD drive and then reinstalling it ?

        Can these burnt cds be read ok on another machine or in another cd/dvd drive on that machine ?

        If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.

             baller123..... go into control panel / system / Hardware tab ...... then click device manager ...... then scroll down to dvd /cd drives and click on the + sign in front of the listing ........ then double click your dvd drive  .....when the drive properties box opens... click on the driver tab and then choose whatever option you want.  

            Hope this helps you .

            Did you finalize the burn? Has this previously worked? If so, did you do EVERYTHING exactly as you did then?
