My new computer will not read or open CDs burned with an old computer. CDs worked fine with the old computer. Want to open the old CDs with the new computer.

I would actually lean towards there is something not working correctly with your NEW computer. A CD is a CD is a CD...can you open other CDs? Try the CD troubleshooter.

Are you familiar with CD burning settings or you just use the defaults? There are options being asked before you burn CDs, be it for data(text,log files) or Sound files(WAV,MP3s, etc.) such as mode(Mode 1 and 2) and ISO or JOLIET. Some new readers e.g. VCD/DVD players do not support the previous versions, it might be the same for your new PC's CD/DVD-rom drive. Check which versions and settings are the ones used in CD burning using the old PC and what settings are supported by your new PC. You might want to create a copy of the CD using the old PC but this time with the settings supported by your new PC, so that you'll be able to view it. It might just be a matter of compatibility. Good luck ^.^

Did you layout the the CD? Secondly.. your laptop has a DVD commencing off.. does it have a CD commencing off.. you comprehend.. you push a sprint button and it opens and you place your CD in? You indicated that it did no longer.. Mine has the two and that i'm greatly surprised which you haven't any longer have been given the two.. Are you particular? If yours says DVD.. then you may no longer use it for a CD

Try it on other computers, copy and re-burn
I know CD burning is tricky, I had the same problem.
Use a good burner not just Windows or use an external drive to transfer your files
Good Luck

Your old CDs can be damaged or can be burned in multiple ssesions.
probably the old unit it is more "robust" and accept this :)
Try a program named isobuster it is free (something features) and is for CD and DVD Data recovery/rescue
It a CD/DVD Digital Media Data Recovery tool

Tt can read also the CDs burned in multiple-sessions with various burning programms - and that seem to "lost" the old data.
Try it. and verify also the versions of your burning program.
