CD Rom Drive not reading Disc
Whenever I try to copy something to a disc It keeps
telling me to please insert a bank disc when there's already one in it. I've tried Audio copy, Data copy, I even put in a bank CD and went to my Compuer, D Drive and tried explore but it still tells me the same thing. Please insert a disc. Any other cd's that have data on them work but it's just not reading the blank ones. I have a writable/DVD Combo Drive and the blank cd's I'm using are Memorex CD-R 48x 700mgb 80 min. If any of that helps. Thank You Beau |

It might help if you were to indicate what software you are attempting to
use to write to CDs. Explorer is unable to read blank CDs since they have no filing system etc. unless you have packet writing software such as Roxio's Direct CD or Ahead's InCD installed. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Beau wrote: Whenever I try to copy something to a disc It keeps telling me to please insert a bank disc when there's already one in it.
