Hi there
Recently my laptop CD drive is not reading CDs that I have burnt data on to - it just does not recognise that I CD is in place in the drive. The CDs are fine as they read on a DVD recroder and a friend's PC, and also general DVDs such as films and music read fine on the laptop.
It is a Sony VA10 PCG-K315Z and I am running Windows XP home edition. I use Sonic Record Now version 7 to burn the data.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
David

On a laptop sometimes when this happens, I have overcome the problem in the past, but it will not always work, by gently rubbing a piece of tissue on the exposed reading lens in the CD/DVD tray when it's in the out position to clear dirt and filth.
You have to be very careful when doing this.
This may work, or you could purchase a lens cleaning disc very cheaply.
It could be a number of things, this is just another option.
Good luck.

G'day DavidC.
Yep I have the same problem with one DVD rewiter here.
Would write data and verify it as writen ok, but would not re-read the DVD when disk put back into machine, but the same DVD could be read on the other computer. The problem DVD writer would write Video data ok and play back.
The problem was resolved when cake of DVDs were returned for a refund.
New lot every one ok so far.
When I opened the seal on the first lot they didn't look correct.

Just to update everyone - I used the CD cleaner that I purchased and tried burning again using one of the new batch of DVDs I bought and - success! No probs, so it appears it was probably just dust and dirt on the lens and needed a clean.
Thanks again for everyone's help.
