If you know the make and model of the CD drive, check for a firmware update, though make sure it is the exact one for the drive

Of the two drives you have, RW indicates a ReWrite capability

just realised that the disk that works is a DVD+RW which is what it says the drive is called, and the discs that dont work are music cds and CD-RW. but they all worked earlier today. now when i put in the disks that dont work it just makes 3 little sounds as if its tryin to read them bt cant.

erm, im not sure. i just use the disks to store photos and stuff. i format them using pinnacle instant write and then i just drag pics into them and stuff. i dont burn cds very often.
