Why do all my Burned CDs and DVDs show up as blank CDs and DVDs on my laptop when I try to access them?

Question

Any other CDs and DVDs will work without any problems.

Answer 1

If you have just been 'dragging & droopping' files to the CD/DVD then you need to 'Close the Session' when you 'eject' them before another computer can read them.

NB. Don't 'Close the CD' - Closing the CD stops you adding more data.

Answer 2

LAPTOP drive does not recognize your media type.

What type DVD/CD do you have, Plus R or minus R

+R, RW+R or -R, -RW?

Read your Laptop specifications to find out the laptop DVD/CD specifications. Even worse, your laptop might just have a DVD/CD ROM drive. Then you are hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!
