CD Rewriter
|
CD Rewriter drive on Sony laptop will not write. Comes up with no disc in drive after one is inserted. Discs are ok. In properties, cd is shown as full but megabytes shown as zero.

unfortunately very often CD/DVD Write/Re-Write drives do not come with any software to help get started,
for some free CD/DVD writing software try any of the following:-

or

or

a CD or DVD is not readable by an operating system without some other software installed, (XP and Vista have a basic software built in) but it can be a bit hit or miss with newer drives, and what you do get are the same results you see at the present, without writing a disk it is unformated and is read as either full or non existent. A problem that can also arise can be caused by changing the write/re-write software, which can cause the CD/DVD drive to disappear from the system as one software removes information from the registry etc. the next software cannot get it recognised again.

Thank you, will try sites suggested. I suspect this has something to do with ipod software.
