Quake3World

just last night i burned an audio cd with nero and everything was fine.

today i tried burning another audio cd and everytime i insert a blank cd-r nero says "no disc inserted or drive not ready, try again", it doesnt even work with WMP.

now, i'm able to play/install games from the NEC and i'm able to watch DVD's, but for some reason i cant get it to recognize CD-r's..

wtf ? dont tell me its half way borked

just inserted a DVD-R and nero reports it as OK..

nothing on CD-R

also, i cant playback audio cd's and it takes near a minute to read the disc, no problems with reading diablo2 for example

hmm, just threw in an audio cd into my creative 5x dvd drive and it wont read it

now i cant seem to open any cd-r/w with the NEC, but DVD's and DVD burning works..

lucky me i found the receit and still have 4 months left on the 1 yr warranty so i'll just return the fucker and get a new one..

When you burn a cd and you eject the disc, close the tray and reopen it, then insert a blank CD.

i CANNOT burn a cd at all

i can however burn a DVD

i've done other tests n shit, reinstalling... seems the CD-R/RW / CD/Audio playback part is dead..

a dvd/cd burner reads the cd's the same regarldess of what disk you put it. its an issue in windows, not the disk.

you already stated that the cdr's dont work in a seperate 5x cd drive either. which would mean that it isnt the drive but something else.

but dvd's work with the other drive, so u'r telling me my IDE1 port could be going bad ?

i doubt its windows, cause i'm not getting any errors at all..

and why would the creative driver read a diablo2 cd and not the NEC ? which the NEC worked at 11am reading diablo2 cd

If you have a linux live cd then you could try burning from there, to determine if it's a windows issue.

you said a normal cd doesnt work in the 5x creative and you said it doesnt work in the nec. so its the nec? thats not really logical now is it?

i cant do nothing right now, but tomorrow i'll yank everything out and rebuild my pc, (still not thinking about reinstalling XP) cause i smell BS

if a dvd/cd burner reads the cd's the same, how come i can read/write dvd's and not cd's ??

didnt i already tell you that windows is broken?

didnt i already tell you that windows works perfectly fine ?

obviously it doesnt or it would read your cd's.
