CD Burner, Floppy Drive, USB Drive, etc. or any hardware that fails -
Remove | From | Control Panel | System | Device Manager

Insert a CD-RW or CD-R - new, empty or used - the computer prompts to
insert
a disk into the drive, as it cannot read that
current CD disk. Attempt to burn onto a CD-RW using Burning Software,

it
does not recognize the CD disk. The hardware should be removed, restart

/
reboot and let the OS Software reinstall the drivers for the hardware.

Reboot into Safe Mode (F8) and remove the offending hardware.

Using an 80 GIG external USB drive and a Bootable CD loaded with

utilities
works very well here in troubleshooting. The 80 GIG external USB drive

is
used only for software storage and the bootup is with the CD or External
USB
Floppy.

I have had this computer for nearly 4 years, and have not
experienced this problem until recently. I have not
installed any new programs that could have created this
problem - it just stopped working one day. Last I
checked, my computer is virus and spyware free.

I have a Sony Vaio PCV-RX380DS, with Pioneer DVD-ROM DVD-
116R and Sony CD-RW CRX160E drives. When I insert a CD-
RW, whether it is new, empty or used, the computer prompts
me to insert a disk into the drive, as it cannot read that
current disk. When I try to burn onto a CD-RW using
Adaptec DirectCD, it fails to burn because it does not
recognize the disk. When i insert the same disk into my
other computer (WinXP), I experience no problems.

I have tried to look for any updates with Sony or the
drive makers but have come up empty handed. I have no
problem with CD-R's, but i prefer to use CD-RW for large
file transfers between computers.

Any help is appreciated.
