CD / DVD burner recognizes some disks not others???

by jgarrad . Updated 17 years, 3 months ago

Help – my internal cd / dvd drive / burner seems have become selective as to whether or not it will recognize a disk.

When it doesn’t recognize, I can’t see the disk on Windows media player, or in My computer – its as though the disk isn’t inserted (but it is)

Have been ripping some mucic cds, most it recognizes ok, some require me to re-insert a few times, others, it will not recognize at all.

Tried installing a game for my kid (Dawn of War Gold). It recognized the disk, went through the install, but had an error. Next day (after restarting), I tried to reinstall, but the system wouldn’t even recognize the disk!

Wonder if I am missing a driver somewhere, or if I just need to break down and buy a new CD/DVD burner

Any help would be most appreciated

Thanks
