Hi,
I have a Sony Vaio PC that used to burn files and music to CD when I
occasionally needed it to do so.
Now, it will play a music CD, but when I select files to copy to CD, it
keeps telling me there's no blank CD in the drive.
I've been working on this for at least a week and am getting extremely
frustrated.
I went to the Sony site and downloaded some sort of test to see if the
hardware is functioning properly.
The drive started right up and passed the tests with flying colors.
When I tried again with my own files, the same message to insert a cd into
the drawer appeared.
I've tried disabling the drive and reinstalling, and all I succeeded in
doing was making the new hardware notice pop up multiple times every time I
start up the computer so that I have to waste the first 5 minutes cliking OK
and then a message comes up saying hardware may not perform as expected.
That I know!
Any suggestions?
The drive is Sony cd-rw crx175e
The other drive is Pioneer dvd-rom dvd 117r
Thanks,
Gail
