Ok, the title is not all that it seems to be.. it does read CD's... but the problem is:

I have four CD's that i burnt and i used Nero 7, now i tried to put the first CD in, and it read it fine, then i put the second CD in and it wouldn't read it.... i tried putting one of the other two CD's in and it wouldn't read them..

and yet, i can put the four CD's in blank.. and it read them back to back...

any ideals whats going on?

oh yes, i can restart my computer and put another CD in, and it wil read it fine, but then i try to put another one in after it, it wont read it.

I know the CD Reader is fine, it was replaced a couple months ago, and the drivers should be fine because they were re-installed around the same time.

Try cleaning the lense it could be that, also have you updated the drivers at all?

The only other thing I can think of is that the information could be corrupted, but you saying that it can be read find from somewhere else.

Try a different burner software and see what happens.

hmm, no ive never tried cleaning the lense, and ive got the most updated drivers, it happens with all of the burning software i try.... and im too cheap to bother with using a lense cleaning tool..

You might want to try a different brand of blank CDs. I have found my CD burner doesn't like some particular brands. While they seem to burn ok, when I try to play them back, some of them just will not work no matter what I try. I changed the brand of CD I use, and all the problems were solved. I guess some of these "no name" brand CD suffer in quality. You get what you pay for I suppose. Try a name brand like "TDK" or "Verbatim" and see if that helps.

hmm i never thought about that... but ALL of the CD's i burn will work... but my porblem is that i have to restart every time before i can put another one in and have it readable..

ill try to find different CD's i am using is the costco brand that comes like 50-100 in a pack.... so ill try some different maybe name brands and see if that works thanx
