get a new cd, chances are you will most likely need it again so be sure to burn a back up copy, I am sure for some reason your modem drivers were erased, those nessesary drivers to enable the phone to act as a modem are most likely on a cd......

Trying copying the files off the CD and on to your hard drive.  Would guess that whatever program you are using to try to view the pictures wants to write to the CD as part of opening them.  Of course it can't so they don't open.  Just copy them over, view them, and when done, delete them.

did you try opening it with a paper clip?  (there's a small hole on it, if you unbend a paper clip and stick it in there there's a button or something that it hits that will usually make it open)\n\ndo the cds work after it gets stuck?\n\nbut i really have no idea why it would do that.

do you mean rip the music onto your computer, burn the music onto another CD, or remove a song from a CD that you just burned? \n\nYou cannot remove music from the actual CD, btw. Once it's there it's there for good. Try getting a new blank CD

Wow, this is a big problem now isn't it! I suggest reistalling Windows... and reformatting the computer as you do so, but this would cause you to lose everything on your computer first, so you'd want to save everything you wanted to keep to cd. If you do want to try this (not recommended unless you know what you're doing), insert your Windows cd in the cd-rom drive and restart the computer, pressing a key to have it boot from the cd-rom if necessary.\n\nI suggest taking your computer into Best Buy's Geek Squad, or a place along those lines. It will cost a fee yes, but a problem like this is specific, and needs to be looked at by someone who knows what they're doing and has a lot of experience. If it's a Gateway or Dell or the like, call the technical support help line and describe the problem, they're very good at fixing this kind of thing.

If your CD hasn't been scratched, your CD ROM is not properly detecting the CD.\nTry with the other CD ROM.

Scratch the surface of the CD with a sharp object.  Scuffing it on concrete is also very effective.  There are also shredders for CDs.  Don't use an ordinary paper shredder though!\n\nBTW, formatting a floppy wasn't a good way to delete data.  Until the floppy was overwritten, the data was still there.

Try a different CD, a brand new one that you're sure has never been used.  It's possible that the one you're using is corrupted.

Only thing I know is it may be a bad cd-r disk. I've had that problem. If you've tried multiple disks, I don't known what to tell you. Hope this helps!

I think the CD you are using is corrupted. Bye a new CD or get it exchanged. See whether your CD has any scratches on that

What software are you trying to use to burn the CD? It could be that the song has a method of copywrite protection on it and the sofware will not allow you to burn it.

Ok go into my computer, select the cd drive, then select erase contents of the cd, or you can delete each track one by one.  You may need to hold ctrl button as you select without clicking the mouse button and then when all tracks are highlighted in blue press delete.
