CD burning

Kenneth1620 · 01-10-2008, 11:24 AM

I have a Sony Vaio with Windows XP Service Pack 2 professional.
The CD driver appears to be QSI CD-ROM SCR-242

I can listen to any CD inserted into Drive E but cannot copy any file, or picture to a CD.

A window appears to read "Please insert a disk in Drive E" and when I do, the window does not close. My CD driver does not seem to recognize a disk.

I do not have this problem if I insert music or DVD for listening or viewing.

Can anyone suggest what I must do to be able to transfer/copy files or pictures to a CD?

Thanks,

Kenneth

You recommended a solution which I followed and everything worked well...until now.

Can you suggest what I must do to once again be able to transfer/copy files or pictures to a CD?

try the filters again first
the cd laser may be dirty or on it's way out

Thanks.

The upper and lower filters were removed when you suggested some months ago, and no longer appear when I open the registry.

Do you have any other suggestions?

try cleaning the laser either with a cleaning disk or if you are confident enough manually
try the drive in another computer to see if it is the same
