Answer 1

Hello,

What software are using? If you can play and rip cds it seems that there is a problem in this process of clicking in "burn to cd".

Answer 2

Yes, the burner drive can wear out. Before you give up on it, try this:
1. Right click on "My Computer", then click on "Properties", then on the "Hardware" tab, and then on the "Device Manager" bar.
2. Find your CD drive in the listings, and right click on it...then select "Uninstall".
3. Exit from there, and then reboot. Windows should see the drive as "new hardware" and reinstall the driver for it. Now try burning a CD in the drive.
If this doesn't work, chances are that you'll need to replace the drive. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Your vehicle's cd participant would no longer be in a position to study the report type that the music is written with. To maximum ideal this discover out which type of documents the vehicle's cd participant can study and then convert and burn the music's documents to that report equipment.

Answer 4

this has previeasly happend to me once... i think that you have a worm on your computer that has goten in to your operation system settings and has replaced one of them. Go to run, type in "regedit" and click on the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" Folder. If the Folder contains the file "(Default)" then you have a worm... it should be "(DEFAULT)"...but if it is "(Default)" then you have a worm on your computer and you must get it off IMEDIATLY. to do this simply right click on the file and click "delete". then restart your computer and come back to this folder and you will see that windows has automaticly fixed and patched the folder and that your computer will be as good as new. Hope i helped.
