To make the long story short, first uninstall your Windows Media Player, from  add/remove windows components, in your control panel. Once you have donde so go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/mp10/default.aspx and download it and install it again. This should take care of the problem, and avoid you further waste of time,\n\nGood Luck!

Your CD burner probably came with software of it's own.  It may have come with Nero or Roxio or Sonic.   Look for that CD.  Go to the Control Panel and remove that software.  Reboot the computer and insert the CD that reinstalls that Burner software.    This should fix the "burner" drivers and software that will allow you to BURN.\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

Your cd drive has failed. Replace it.\n\nBest looking at DVD +- RW's as they are proving more stable than CD writers.

maybe your CD burner is not working right also shutdown any other application while burning and make sure you "close" the disk right

If you have an external dvd recorder, it should just plug in to the usb port and your pc should detect it.\n\nIf not, you might have to reinstall it again.\nOnce you pc detects it then it shows up as a drive in your MyComputer.\n\nIf Windows Media Player wont detect it then use another media player. There's lots of them out there.\n\nYOu can use winamp, apple quicktime, Core player, Ultra Player, well i could go on and on.\ngood luck\nstef

I have found this super annoying problem with burning CDs like that. I will burn some files on one computer, take it over to my laptop and it looks blank!! I use ISO Buster to look at the CD and the stuff is there. Well it seems it had to to with Nero and burning multisession disks or something and Windows wasn't reading them correctly. Are you using a different program to burn? If you use Windows media player to burn a CD, it should definitly read..if not try a different brand of disk. If not then...well newegg.com has some nice 16X Dual Layer DVD-RWs for under $40...

No, but you should rip the cd, not burn it - use Windows Media Player - insert the disc and select rip - follow the onscreen prompts x

Try blowing some compressed air in the cd burner/player, there may be some dust that got in there during shipping.  Also, make sure your CD's are clean.

Try restarting your computer. If the drive is removable, try taking it out and putting it in. Try going to device manager and making sure there are drivers installed for it. You can do this by going to start, right click on my computer, click properties, click hardware tab, then click the device manager button. Look for anything with an ! or ? icon. If there is one on the CD/DVD drive then it's a driver problem, easily fixed. I'd tell you where to get the driver if I knew the model of your computer.\n\nAnd if none of these work, it may be the drive fried or got disconnected from the board.

your cd writer might be broken. try a software re-install, if that doesnt work take the drive to be tested. or start using winamp. its very good and tells you if there is something wrong wit you drive.

Looks like you have a "corrupted" installation...\nTotally uninstall the program, then do a registry clean like PC Tools Registry Mechanic, then reboot your computer...then reinstall a "fresh" downloaded copy of Windows Media player and see if that doesn't fix the problem...

...with that being said, even if you were willing to do a System Restore, you'd have to take your "best guess" as to when you THINK it updated itself and restore your computer back to before that time.\n\nAnyway, the other thing(s) that you can do are to either reinstall WMP (that's Windows Media Player) 9 Series or WMP 10. If you HAD WMP 9 Series and went to WMP 10 and if that is when you had the CD Burning problem, then it's WMP 10 that messed you up.\n\nYou could also download and add codecs/plugins/drivers to your computer to see if that will help as well -- to give you the ability to burn music again. There are a ton of sites you can go to get some which I will list at the bottom.\n\nI hope that I'm some help, though I know it's not much, but hopefully if you guess about the time at which you THINK your WMP updated then you may have a chance to System Restore your computer back to a particular time... Even if you don't go back far enough in System Restore's or if you go back TOO far, you can always UNDO the System Restore!!!

Have you read the media player's help line carefully.  I do this often and have no problem with it.  Also be sure to have the latest version of media player.  You might want to get the burning program from Nero and give it a try.  I like it and use it for DVD recording.  If you don't have winsown XP then I may not be able to help you.  be sure to read the help line very crwefully.

It's very likely you CD drive has worn out or broke down. I would get a new one, you can get them very cheap, even a DVD burner drive. Try TigerDirect.
