i'm sorry, i'm completely lost

Expand Post »
i'm totally not computer literate i'm just trying to find some help! My cd burner for some reason can't or won't read the cd's i'm trying to burn. Both the cd and dvd's play, but i cannot for some reason burn an audio cd. When i put the blank cd into the drive, i get a message saying "please insert blank disc into drive"....i've checked the drivers (well as well as a computer idiot can) i've looked for updates, downloaded updates...i've been doing this for 8 hours and i can't figure out the problem....UGH...can someone help this IDIOT??!!! pppllleeeaaassseee??!!

Re: i'm sorry, i'm completely lost

Er, this is the wrong place for such questions. This forum is for people progamming in C++.

A CD usually needs to have some formatting done to it before writing. Perhaps your software is complaining that it hasn't been prepared to write audio data to it?

Re: i'm sorry, i'm completely lost

I think it's a software problem. Try different programs perhaps? I recommend Sonic over Nero.

I actually have Sonic, it came with the computer. I thought maybe i had an outdated version and have tried updates etc., but nothing seems to be working...it's very frustrating
