CDR drive not accessible
My CD-RW drive worked just fine until a few days ago. It recognized all CD-
Rs and CD-RWs , but now it simply stopped working. When the drawer is opened, the light comes on, but when I insert a CD-R or CD-RW I get the message "Q is not accessible. The device is not ready." I clicked on the device and tried to remove the device and have Windows reinstall it, but I get the message "You selected a device category. Device categories cannot be removed. Click the plus sign next to the device category, and then click the device you want to remove." I DID click on the plus sign next to the device category, and then click on the device I want to remove. I tried to use CTI CD-Maker 2000 Standard, which I used many times before. It adds the file, then I go to "record". The drawer opens, and I get the message "Please insert a recordable CD-R or CD-RW disc into the CD recorder." The drawer closes, and the CD recorder light comes on briefly; and then nothing happens. How can I get my computer to recognize that there is a CD-R or CD-RW disc in the drive? I noticed that many people seem to be having the same problem, but none of the suggestions seem to work. Someone suggested cleaning the drive. I tried, but that disc is not recognized either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using Windows 98. |
