I am unable to get most of my computers to read a blank CD when we are trying to burn music onto them useing media player.

I have tried different computers, and all different types & brands of cd's.

Any suggestions?

Did you try different burning program?

[LiaoGoren]

Tried media player and Nero, neither work properly. Its like none of the computers want to accpet cd's (tried 3 computers)... say no you cant burn those songs... lol

None of THREE computer wants to accept blank disks?! Same brand?

[LiaoGoren]

The computer ejects them and says put in a blank one, if your lucky and push that same disk back in about 10 times it MIGHT work... but yea, none of the computers want to accept them. Thats why I am thinking it not the computer drives

I'm confused.
Once, you say none of THREE computers will accept blank CD, then you say "the computer" (one?)....
Very same CD? Did you try different disk? Is the CD empty, for sure? Did you try different brand of CD?

ok please read the orginal post before trying to help!

Yes I have tried several different cd's, several different brands, several different types from each brand.

Yes I siad computer, refering to the one I am sitting in front of, and encompasing ALL three of the computers.

Have ANY of the computers ever read blank CDs?
Did it happen to all computers at the same time?

[LiaoGoren]

like I said, sometimes on all of them if you keep trying it MIGHT read the disk. and its always happened, they have never really worked right at all in the year or so I have owned them

Try one of these:

3. Download, and run Restore Missing CD Drive patch
Double click on cdgone.zip to unzip it.
Right click on cdgone.reg, click Merge.

4. Go to Device Manager, click a "+" sign next to IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.
You'll see two items:

Right click on each of them, and click Uninstall. Confirm.
Restart Windows. They'll be automatically reinstalled.
