I'm trying to burn a program to a cd but my computer keeps saying there is no disk in the drive. I tried another file and it keeps saying the same thing. Two days ago I copied files to it but now it won't recognize that there is one in there. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Have you check the BIOS to see whether the CD/DVD drives is connected? If not than you may have to check the cable connection or the power source cable. Than follow caperject's instruction.

CD drive you mean? It should provide the cable connection is proper and CD drive is in working condition.

Than in that case. You could clean your CD/DVD ROM with a CD cleaning kit. If it still cannot read any CD/DVD. You may have to get a new CD/DVD drive.
