| 653461 | 2008-03-28 02:37:00 | I have put in two DVD/CD drives into the old mans machine. They both come up in the properties that they are DVD/CD drives yet they both don't recognise CD's. One of the drives is brand new. I have put in pleanty of drives into my machines in the past with no troubles what so ever. Both are Pioneer drives. One is a DVR-112D (Brand new) and the other is a Pioneer 109 drive. Now I have this drive in my own machine and it recognises CD's and DVD's. Any ideas I need to look at to get the drives to recognise CD's? (I have tried blank CD's and Audio CD's with no luck). |

| 653464 | 2008-03-28 07:22:00 | And what happens when you put a blank cd or audio cd in?? What program did u use, to test them with ? Nothing. If I go to mycomputer/devices etc it doesn't show up in the screen that thier is a disc in there. If I click on the drive to open the CD it tells me there is no disc there. Yet when I put in a DVD (Blank or otherwise) it works fine. I have the jumpers set correctly, and even swapped them around etc but that makes no difference. Is there a program to test the drives? All I have used so far is the default windows XP. |

| 653466 | 2008-03-28 19:30:00 | What software did you install to burn with? Nero? What happens if leave a CD in and reboot the machine? Can it see the CD once Windows has reloaded? |

Can it see the CD once Windows has reloaded? Yes - Nero 7 Premium. I think I did reboot with the CD in the machine, but can't remember if it recognised it or not. I can try it again next tiome I see him. See if this fixes it (www.microsoft.com) It'll check the autorun info in the registry,if its not there or not working, it should fix it. Take any cd's/dvds out first Cheers for that. I will try this over the weekend. |

We turn on the machine, put a CD into the drive and it doesn't recognise a CD (Audio or blank). Put a DVD in there and all is sweet. Now the machine has two CD/DVD drives. The one that came with the machine is fine. It's the new drive that doesn't recognise CD's. Confused? - OK. I have three drives. One CD/DVD reader that works great. The other two are CD/DVD burners. It's the burners that don't recognise CD's. I have changed all of the drivers to be master/slave etc in all configurations but the burners are still not reading CD's. |
