I am trying to burn a CD it has worked me me many times before this, but now when i put a disc into the drive it does not spin, and when i press burn it says, please insert a blank CD into the drive, when i already have a blank CD in the drive, and i have tried more then one, brand new CDs so i know it has to be a problem with the burner. Any ideas?

see the drivers in your hardware file if it has ! or ? then choose upgrade sofware
try different cd/wr if it is old

The first thing I would do is get a CD drive cleaning kit and run it. If that doesn't work I would check the hardware manager for "!" or "?" next to your drive. Then I would install a new drive. Good Luck!

Your CD burner may have died.
Try a commercial Audio CD, if that poops, buy a new drive.
If OK, try another "name brand" of blank CD. Some of the generic ones are junk!

The drive has probably packed up. They don’t have a very long life. New ones are quite cheap and easy to install.
