Well I am currently on my third pc and it is really new. I mean I have almost the harddrive full but that is besides the point. My computer is IBM and it says he has a dvd player and cd-writer. I am looking where it says that right now, but whenever I put in a DVD to play it says that there is no disc. And when I try to make cd's it says I have no cd burner installed. I do not know if I have to install them or what but I was told it was already installed. If anyone knows anything please tell me because I really need to fix this because I need to get stuff on cd's because Im going to have to buy a new computer really soon.

Try preforming a driver update

What softwear do you use to burn your cd's? I use nero express.I'm sure they all setup the same way.This is how I set mine up.1# shut down your machine if you have the cd drive pluged in already.Once it is shut down unplug the cd drive cable from the tower.2# reboot your machine.3#put in the disk that has your drivers on it,and install them.Then remove the cd from the drive.4#shut down the machine again.5#while the machine is shut down plug the cd drive cable back into the tower..6# reboot your machine.Once the machine reboots it will find your cd drive.7#insert the burner softwear into your drive,and install it.Once this is done you should be good to go.
