Sparda Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 What happens when you try to access the drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiyed14 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Is it one particular CD or all CD's? If it's one CD, try cleaning the disk, you can try polishing the disk with some toothpaste. Always work outward from center of disk to the edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digip Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Are you sure there is something on the cd. maybe its a bad cd and can't read it. Try burning some files to a cd and see if you can then open them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vector Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 does this only happen with recordable cd media or is this happening with any cd you insert, for example a music cd? and the disks that youre using, are the RW or just R? i would also check to see that youre using the proper drivers and or firmware for your drive.

Timmo Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Had the same problem with a dvd burner, a panasonic dvr 112d I think it was. Worked it out to be a problem with a lazer being out of focus the tinyest fraction. Could be a faulty unit. And I recomend taking it back to the dealer and getting a replacement, I'm sure its prob covered under warrenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
