Hi I am using Windows Xp on a Sony Viao.
I burned a cd about a month ago using iTunes and ever since then when I
insert a normal CD or DVD in the drive to try and play them or rip them they
do not show up in any way. I have looked in my computer directly, in iTunes
and WMP etc but the CD or DVD never show up the drive just show as empty.
If I insert a blank CD or DVD my PC does register this. However when I try
and burn something onto the DVD via any software application it always fails.
Any help greatly appreciated as it means I cannot rip cds onto my PC at the
moment or install any software that comes on a disc. |

Bought the PC in 2005, sorry for the delay in replying have been away with
no PC access.
I tested it again today and it let me burn a cd but when I put it back the
cd back into the PC it did not see the music I had just burned onto it yet it
did when I put it into into my laptop.

I had similar problems from a drive of similar age. I bought a newer
model burner and that solved the problem. |
