When I put a CD-R into my drivers it reads "no disc inserted". Can anyone help with this problem?

Answer 1

usually your burning program got corrupted , try removing it ,then reinstalling it , this is a common problem with windows

Answer 2

Some CD-Rom drives don't read CD-R disks very well. This is especially true if the CD-R was not properly closed out and finalized when it was burned.

It's also possible that the CD-R is corrupt. Have you tried it in another machine?

Answer 3

I had this very same problem with my Dell combo drive a few months ago. It worked fine for 9 months and then just randomly stopped recognizing CD-R discs.

Dell replaced the drive and the replacement drive recognized CD-R but wouldn't recognize DVD-Rs.

I finally solved the problem by intalling the trial version of Nero 7. I don't know what the program did but everything magically fixed itself as soon as it was installed.

Answer 4

Well what are you trying to do? Burn a CD? Or just read the CD-R?

If trying to burn a CD-R - make sure it is the correct type of CD-R (music, data). Also make sure you have a CD-R drive!

If you are trying to read the CD-R - make sure that your CD drive can read CD-R's in the first place. Some older CD drives don't recognize CD-Rs.

Lastly - if you have a CD-R drive (or a CD drive that can read CD-R's) make sure the CD-R isn't blank.

Answer 5

maybe your cd driver is broken....try using CD+R if that still says no disc inserted then your cd drive is broken and you should just buy a new one they are cheap now .....like 30 $

Answer 6

Are you sure the disc isn't blank? That's the only simple solution I can think of. But basically the other other thing could be a bad disc drive.

Answer 7

it may your CD-R is burned or damaged.
or then your operating system is not work well.
or your CD-ROM damaged.
