Blank cd's not being recognized - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Hi all. I have never had a problem with burning cd's in the past up until now. I just finished off the rest of my Maxwell CD-R's and recently purchased a 100 spindle of Memorex 700MB/80min for a relatively small amount. Well come to find out that my computer is not reading these blank cd's. I found a blank Maxwell lying around and popped it in and sure enough windows prompted me with what I wanted to do with the disk, so there probabaly is not a problem with the drive itself. Anything I could do to make my windows media player recognize and let me burn these things? I would hate to see 100 blank cd's become frisbees.

Oh and I am running a cheap e machines with the following:

WinXP Home
1.4 GHz AMD proccesor
768 MB ram

(Dunno if you need this, I know a lot about computers as you can tell :P)

Thank you for any info.

Could be bad media. Maxwell media is know to be crap along with Imation and other el cheapo brands.

maybe i didnt say it right, but what i meant to say was that the maxwell disc worked fine but the memorex didnt. thanks for the comment though!

check your aspi drivers

You sure the discs are being burned? Not meaning to sound patronizing but I had a client who has saying her discs were not being recongnised- "This device is not ready", turned out that she thought that copying a file and pasting it to the CD-R drive (in Windows Explorer) was how you burnt a CD. Thing is, Win Ex would tell you that you can't do that anyway. In the end I bought her Nero and away she went on a pirating spree.

its not patronizing at all. all im doing is selecting the music i want to burn ... hitting copy to cd or device, it then puts me into windows media player. i put in a blank cd (its only doing it with the memorex), and it doesnt read it. all its saying on the right side is insert a blank cd into the drive.

try using a better burning program. Nero is excellent.
