You can try 3 things.\n\n1) get a repair kit\n\n2) try re-burning the cd in the computer\n\n3) http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/\n\nEAC can repair many errors and give you a wave file which you can then burn to another cd\n\n4) buy a new one used on Amazon

Ok, \n\nFirst try to eject it from my computer , open my computer and where the cd is just right click and choose eject , if that dosent work , theres a little hole on the front of the cd-rom , just put a paper click into and it should open and last it could be that the cd is not working anymore

There should be a small hole somewhere on your CD ROM. Put something like a paperclip in it and it will open.

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!

you probably need a new disc drive, your old one is probabaly broken...  try buying a new one...

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.

When you install the software, do you reboot the computer? How many drives do you have? Check your program to see if you are loading the disc in the one it is expecting to see the blank disc in.\n\nI had a drive go bad and it didn't see anything. You can check that out by putting a program cd in and seeing if it opens or by going to my computer and looking.\n\nAlso, check out your hardware profiles. Look to see if it(the cd burner or reader) is being recognized and the drivers are working properly.

We'll need more information to attempt to answer your question.  The DVD-Rom drive should be able to read CDs.  If it doesn't there are many possible causes.\n\n1.  Failed DVD-Rom drive.  Will it play DVDs?\n2.  Virus or spyware infection.\n3.  Various anti-pirating software from commercial CDs.\n\nSo, when did it stop reading CDs?  What were you doing when it happened?  What software had you just installed?\n\nAnswers to these questions might help get you an answer.

Sounds like a corrupted driver. Just uninstall and reinstall. If you have the CD, insert it and you can uninstall from the cd. Then reinstall.

Not only is it a separate slave drive or just a partition on the same disk but, have any of the letters for your other drives changed? We kinda need this info in order to be able to give you the PROPER instructions to fix your problem.\n\nHowever, by reading your question, carefully, I'm wondering if your cd drive was being called "D" drive. If it that's the case and it continues not to read cds you put in it, you may have to take your puter into the shop and have the connections on the hardware checked as well as the reader on the cd-rom drive itself.

Driver not there - it's not loaded properly - restart the computer\n\nMalfunction - yes you drive is too old to do the work - replace the drive\n\nCommunication problem - data or power cable is loose - open the case and press the 2 ends firmly together\n\nBad files - that happened when you burnt your disc - you have to be sure you have the back-up files to burn another one/or the format of your disc is not readable by your CD-ROM drive - some brands are more powerful to read more formats than the others\n\nHardware not connected??? Did you map your drive properly?\n\nYou should read this first (don't worry, it CAN be fixed easily)\n\nhttp://www.pcguide.com/ts/x/comp/cd/recogDriver-c.html\nhttp://www.smartcomputing.com/editorial/article.asp?article=articles/archive/l0604/77l04/77l04.asp&guid=\n\n... and if you still have a problem just go to microsoft.com and do a search like "CD-ROM issue" "unreadable CDs"

Revenra, i sincerely suggest that u take it to repair. I am almost certain that the CD ROM is faulty. The better way would be to install a new CD ROM Drive instead of trying to repair the one that ur using now. The reason is when i CR ROM gets damaged, and even if it is repaired it usually will not last longer. So buy a high quality CD ROM Drive and install it...\n\nIf u still want to try to see if u can fix it by ur self, try to use a lens cleaner. But i feel that it might just be a waste of time and effort!

The unit does have a different head for CD so it is possible for one to go bad and the other stay working.\n\nIf you won't read or write and you have tried different media my guess is your CD head is bad. The writers are a throw away item now. They are so cheap you don't want to fix them.

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!
