unless you've made changes to your system lately (i.e. reformatting, installed new software, etc.) it is probably a hardware failure and needs to be replaced.  You can see what device manger tells you about the status.  Right click on my computer, select manage, select, device manager, browse to your cd drive and see what it says about the device properties.

You can try to get the latest versions of the drivers & software on the net. Or you can call up your suplyer for some new disks. I recomend the first option.

Use the Spell Check next time. I'm afraid to tell you that your Cd-RW Drive has gone bad. The only  thing that you can do is buy another one, or obtain another one. You can download some diagnostic software for CD-RW drives.

check the ribbon cable on both sides of the cd rom..the back and the board...the cable is probably loose

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!

If that CD is not Re-writable then u can't erase it,otherwise u can use NERO BURNING ROM SOFTWARE for erase thar disk.

Go into Device Manager, uninstall the cdrom, then reboot. If that doesn't work, reinstall the drivers from the disk that came with the burner, or OS. If you don't have these disks, then download the drivers from the manufacturer's website. What's happening is that you might have corrupted drivers that may need to be reinstalled, or, replaced with newer ones. :)

You could have a damaged CD. also another thing to check is your RAM. if your RAM is failing it will cause all kinds of errors. Check you CD if its ok download Memtest86 and run it. it will test your memory and if it finds any errors that could be the problem.

More than likely software.  You might try to download the drivers from the driver makers web site, you if you are in Windows XP, boot from the last known good restore point.  If it is drivers, this should help.  If not, you might try a new software product for writing to the CDs.

If any thing you need the mobo drivers! There are very few cdrom units that need a driver! They are all plug and play! I,m thinkin you need to reinstall the mobo drivers if the unit isnt seeing the cdrom or the cdrom itself is defunct!

Try rebooting your workstation first. Go to Add/Remove programs and look for your Create CD program and remove that way.  Netzero software should not interfere with CD writing programs.

I would try reinstalling the driver, but first check just to make sure that the CD works in another computer.

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

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.

Call the people you brought the computer from and have them fix it. They should have given you the CDs.
