Whenever I try to burn a cd or mp3 on my laptop, it says no drive detected. I have a Vaio VGN-FE770G. What can it be?

Ah, I hate that ... on my computer, it usually happens when it can not detect the device I am using, or can not read the CD I have in it. I would check to see if you can play anything from a CD on your laptop, and if you can, that means there is nothing wrong with your CD drive. You should just get a different brand or type of CD to burn with. If you can not play anything, there may be something wrong with your drive. I would take it to a shop to get it looked at if this happens. Hopefully you can get it sorted out :)

uninstall the drive then restart your computer,if that doesn't work install the drive from your disk that came with the computer,or do a recovery and reformat your computer
