Re: Can Not See Audio Files On Music CD





What will it prove?

According to your original post - you have no idea if it sees any CD/DVD
content because you've only tried these particular commercial music CDs.
Prove to yourself (and us) the drive is not totally defective before you
start blaming software. heh

I haven't blamed anything or anyone yet. I tried a photo CD, a
software installation disk, and I tried writing a file to a new CD-R.
Nothing works but when I try to copy the files to the disk the CD
Writing Wizard claims there is not disc in the drive.



NOW that you have added a bit at the bottom - perhaps you can say that the
drive is defective. Maybe. But you have not said if it will read data CDs
or not. Surely you have data CDs..

I'm still not convinced the drive is defective. Are there any services
that must be running that perhaps I disabled necessary for a cd drive
to work properly?
