Computer CD Reading Problem

[A Katt Named Raggz]

Help!!!

My computer does not want to read CDs nor can I burn anything. I pull over the songs to my list to burn...I stick a CD and all it does is spin and I never get the OKAY to BURN. I've tried RealPlayer, WMPlayer, ITunes...no deal. When I stick a cd to listen to, it does the same spinning cycle to not read the cd. DAMN DAMN DAMN!!!

You're getting cycle redundancy errors. The
laser can't read the data on the disk. It's
normally a scratch, but it sounds like your
CD drive maybe misaligned or just faulty, etc.

If you've fucked my Reasons disks...

Nah...I used the REASON disc to scrape mud off of my tires...haha.

Actually, Your Reason disc are perfect still sitting here in a package that needs to go out as soon as I get my first paycheck.

By the way...how do I fix this Not Reading Cds crap.

How old is the CD drive? It might just be old
and knackered. And if that's the case, it'll
probably cost you twice as much to get it repaired
as it will to buy a brand new DVD-RW - say, $50.

Raggz, my expert opinion on this one is, your drive is fucked man!!

[A Katt Named Raggz]

Nah.....it's done it before...but a buddy of mine fixed the problems with a few clicks here and there. Just haven't been able to get a hold of him.

Oh and by the way...my computer is only about a year and a half old.

Windows, right?
