Try using a lense cleaner. I had an HP cd-rw drive that did the same crap. It would never recognize a bured cd. Well, turns out, this particular CD Burner was made for HP by Samsung. I did a firmware and driver update, that helped alot. But I noticed that if the drive wasn't cleaned freaquently, it would not read burned cd's, or recognise blank ones. So first things, first, try just cleaning it.\n\nIf that doesn't fix it, I highly recomend replacing it!\nI've never had that great of luck with Samsung drives of any kind in a computer. \n\nI highly recomend drives made by LiteOn. They make a fantastic drives and they're very afordable.\n\nIf You want slightly better performance however, Toshiba makes a realy good drive as well. I highly recomend one of their DVD multi drives!\n\nFinaly, Pioneer! A little pricey, but not too bad. I've had a couple of their DVD rom drives. One thing I can say about the Pioneer drives is that they do much better with dirty and scratched Optical disks than most drives I've used. I don't know what their DVD burners cost now adays, but a strait up DVD-Rom shouldn't be more than 30 bucks!

- Have you checked if you need a firmware update?\n- Bad quality media? Did it happen with more than one type? Did it happen with quality discs such as Verbatim?\n- Are you trying to use a burning speed that is not compatible with the writer?\n\nIf you have checked all this to no avail, maybe the write/read unit (the laser) of your writer is going loco, and it may need repair. Suggest that you send a Nero logfile to your PC´s or drive´s support, they should be able to tell you what´s wrong with it.

it could be because your burner broke?  or maybe it got unplugged?  Is it an internal burner or an external one?  If external, make sure that it is powered and that the connection cable is secure.\n\nThe best way to test is to simply put a regular music CD on the burner and see if you can play it using Windows Media Player.  Or just put in a software CD and see if you can access the files in it.  \n\nThis will tell you if your burner is still working.

If it's for a desktop/external?  Look at the outside cd-tray.  It will say something like either "DVD-rom" or "DVD +/- RW" or something like that.  If it says "DVD +/- RW" or "+/- R" or any combo containing the ending of RW  or R then, yes, it's a burner.

try a different brand of blanks, or try a different program to burn them all together. I switched around a few times until I found one that works nearly every time. When burning music try using a slower burn speed, 1x - 3x is best

Make sure your drivers are updated, make sure the CD is clean, make sure the media is good, try another cd, buy a new CD.\n\nSorry, I wish I could be more help.

try device manager and unistal it \nreboot and let windows find , this sometimes works\ngothe web site of your burning software and see if they have a upgrade for disc (i think its firmware)\ni know nero does and has helped me in the past

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

make sure your jumpers, the match the cable configuration.  I would make the burner jumpers set to cable select and the DVD to slave.. Make sure the plug has the DVD connected to the slave end and the burner to the master end.  If this doesn't work then post this question on sharkyforums.com.  They will help you out.

It's possible that the burner on the spare PC is malfunctioning.\n\nAre you able to swap the burner from another machine temporarily to check that this might be the fault?\n\nGood luck!

Check the documentation that came with the DVD-RW. These DVD burners can be sorta picky about what brand name Cd's and DVDs they will burn. If you try the brands they recommend and the problems persist, try downloading the firmware from the DVD-RW manufacturer's web site for that model burner. That should be your LAST resort though!

the burner could be dead ... but go to control panel system hardware device manager ... find ur ide controller and uninstall it .. find ur cd drive IF it shows up and uninstall that to ... if its not showing up in device manager dont worry about it just uninstall the  ide... reboot and see if that fixes it ... a final thought is that some viruses will show up like that ... ive personally had that happen a couple of times over the years so make sure u run a virus scan .... the next step if you got nowhere thus far would be to try another drive out in the system or try ur drive out on another system ... then go from there

Check the drivers for your DVD burner, or try a different program.  If it works in other apps, then perhaps Ulead needs an update.  One other possibility, is you may be using the wrong type of media (disc).  Check the specs for compatible discs for your drive, and make sure you don't use 16x if you can only write at 8x.
