You probably have the right media. I would use a CD-R and use a Sharpie marker to label it. That's how you make it last to your 50th.
Test your CD burner to see if it can read a regular CD. Try a different CD-R.
Maybe the CD burner software is not compatible with your burner. Look for the software that came with your CD burner. Also, look to see if Roxio, or Nero or Sonic was installed on your computer.
One tip: When you burn that CD, set the burn speed at about half of the normal speed. So it comes up with 16X as the burn speed, back it off to about 8X. This will burn a more reliable CD that will last 50 years.
Good luck

short answer, yes.
windows built in burning is okay but doesn't always recognize discs that are blank. Right click on the drive itself and go to the autorun tab, go through the drop-down list and select to do nothing for all of them, the go to the burning tab and make sure that its set to allow burning. reboot, then try it...if it still doesn't work try a different disc....if your burner is a cd-rw then make sure you have cd-r if its a cd+rw then it'll need cd+r if its a combo then it shouldn't matter.

Theres a couple of things that could be going on. One is that its a defective CD, if you bought a large spindle its more likely. Also, the default burning wizard in Windows isn't very reliable you may want to use a program like Nero to assist you in your burning projects.

Try another CD first. It gets flaky if the driver is at all scratched or if you may have attempted to write to a CD before.

consistently use a USB/Firewird plug in force to shop your documents on. That way if your workstation crashes and has to circulate to the shop, or you agree directly to format the force, or you purchase a sparkling workstation, merely plug the force in and vola each thing is wisely. For the CD merely replica it to a DVD extremely. Use DVD decrease 3.2 to get rid of any replica risk-free practices. Use Roxio to repeat it from the HD to DVD. in case you have not got DVD wright-er on your workstation, replace your CD wright-er with a DVD wirghter, very much less costly good now. :)

I have another computer with a similar problem with both CD-Rs and DVD-Rs. I think the drive is broken. So i think the only way to fix this is to buy a new CD/DVD drive.......

You may have already written to that CD; try using a fresh one. Re-start your computer before you try again.
