you will need to have a cd burner... if you have one then put the cd in the computer then open the cd from my computer and click and drg the folder from it's current position to the blank cd folder that you opened in my computer, then right on the foler and select burn to cd

What type of a CD (data or audio) and the drive are they?\n\nDoes the computer recognise the CD? I mean in the My Computer folder, did the CD Drive recognise the disk?\n\nPls provide the info about the operating system you are using and the configuration of the system.\n\nThanks for the info. What system is it? Is it a branded system? Is the disk a CD or a DVD? Is it a burned disk or a purchased disk?\n\nTry to open the drive in the BIOS Mode and check if it opens and closes when you press the button without any problem.\n\nThen chk the drive in the Safe mode. Same procedure, open and close the drive using the button only. Put the disk and chk if the drive is able to recognise it.\n\nWas any new software added to the system recently?

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.

try NERO, if that don't work then I suggest a problem with your burner, even though it can read a cd it could still be broken

A few things to check on:\n\n1. What is the max burn speed of your CD's? Check the label.\n\n2. Upgrade your CD burner to the latest firmware (go to your CD burner's manufacturer site to d/l the firmware upgrade tool and the latest firmware file)\n\n3. Upgrade to latest version of Nero.\n\n4. What is the brand of the CD's you are using?  Some brands are not totally compatible with certain burners.  So, if the firmware or Nero upgrade does not help, try using a different brand of CDs

To to My Computer, right click, go to Hardware, Device Manager and see if you really have a DVD/CD ROM drive.  My guess is you only have a CD drive, which will neither play nor burn DVDs.\n-MM

if you're using windows XP, it should automatically install the driver for burning CD'S... you can do it in Windowx XP directly without any other software, My Computer - drag items onto the CDR icon.\n\nif you're using any prior operating system you'll need a disk, or to visit the manufacturer's website to download the driver.

pretty valid answers up there.. if u tried burning a cd.. and there is an error.. u can't burn on it anymore.. clean the cd before trying to burn.. or sometimes opening other programs while burning cd's can halt the process halfway.. ends up wasting the cd and have to put a new one in and start all over.. it sucks.. happens to me sometimes.. could be faulty cd also..

it sounds like the DVD burning software you had before has not yet been re-installed.\n\nInstall a DVD Burning program, then try it.

you must reinstall ur cd rom driver. if it says on my computer  that there is no cd, reinstall the cd rom driver, if its not working, reinstall windows.

Try to open it by all means: double click, right click open, etc. If it won't work, you will have to un-install it and then install it again but in any partition that has enough hard disk memory. Or another option is to empty the partition that acts as scratch disc (I guess it's C:) from some large files (move them to D or E).\nHope it works.

OK, this is not going to be easy..but I am going to assume that you  do not use a CD Burning Program, just the resident Windows XP burning software?\n\nOpen some documents and try to save them to a NEW Blank CD, if this works then  we know it is not the CD Drive.\n\nTry downloading a trial version of one of the recognized CD Burner Programs, like Nero to see if it recognizes your burner.\n\nHave you updated any System Drivers with windows Update since it last worked? Maybe it corrupted your drive...\n\nCan you/Did you update the firmware of your CD Burner?\n\nTry www.Driverguide.com if you can not find any on the manufacturer's website.\n\nIn the Hardware/Device Manager Screen does the Windows XP Software see the drive as a CD/R/W  Drive?\n\nLastly ...as simple as it might sound... check the connections in side the PC, they might have come loose.
