3 CD/DVD Drives not playing/burning CDs/DVDs
Hi. Hope someone can help me.
I'm having problems with my CD/DVD drives playing and burning CDs/DVDs. I've got; 1 CD writer (internal) 1 DVD player (internal) 1 DVD writer (external) I wanted to extract a .wav file from some CDs to make a compilation of my own music. I've done it 100 times before. I normally use Nero 6. This displayed some files missing. So I went through the Nero troubleshooter and followed all instructions. It didn't solve my problem. I decided to use another software extractor. This also didn't work. I then tried to play the CD with Windows Media Player. This didn't work. I tried various CDs in my 3 different drives and they all didn't work. If I double-click on a CD the following is displayed: "Windows Media Player cannot find the specifed file. Be sure the path is typed correctly. If it is, the file does not exist at the specified location, or the computer where the file is stored offline." If I right-click and then "Open" and double-click one of the tracks that is displayed the following is displayed: "Windows Media Player encountered an error when reading the CD-ROM drive in digital mode. Click OK to switch to analog mode. Click Cancel to retry in digital mode" I've clicked OK and Cancel but nothing works. This is the same for all 3 drives (2 internal and 1 external) The thing is, the track and artist information is being dispalyed correctly so windows is registering the disc. When I tried to burn a CD/DVD my software is informing me that there are no drives! I even tried removing one of the internal drives in the device manager and rebooted. The drive is back but has made no difference to my problem. Everything was absolutely fine before I went a way for a short break. No-one has been here to use the PC while I've been away. This couldn't have happened at a worse time. I've got my final project to hand in at college soon and no-way of getting the information onto discs! I believe this is a Windows OS problem. I don't believe that all 3 drives have packed up at once. Can anybody help me? Please. |

JD: Since this is not an OS problem, you may want to try a subject specific group. Sorry, that's the best I can come up with. Harry. "JDBrown" wrote in message ... Does no-one have an idea? A guess? Please I'm desperate! |

I believe this is a Windows OS problem. Are any/all CD-ROM's recognised in Windows (WinMe? - you didn't specify) and can you see and access e.g. data files in Windows Explorer? You then go on to imply (when referring to Nero?) :- ..... This displayed some files missing..... What files missing? ..... So I went through the Nero troubleshooter Did you try uninstalling/re-installing Nero? Mart "JDBrown" wrote in message ... Hi. Hope someone can help me.
