i have a problem with my computer.. it can't detect blank cds(made by TDK) or any of the cds that i put some of my files on(by imation, both are cd-r), but it can detect other cds. i first thought there might be problem with the cds but before, my computer could detect them but now, all of a sudden it can't.
any help would be appreciated. thanks. |

you mean blank cd-r s?
how about written cd-r s? please post: your system (i.e.- windows xp, sp2) your drive your specific problem (any error messages? when did it start? etc) all programs dealing with CDs that you have ever had on your computer. |

most likely.. you need a new cd-drive... it will solve everything.

when you have a CD-r in the drive, and you click on it, what does it tell you?
