Any ideas please? its remote possibility the drive its self only supports audio cd-r cd-rw dvd dvd-r dvd-ram format disks , which means any cd+r cd+rw dvd dvd+r dvd+ram media might not work The - and the + refer to different optical methods used to store/read the data, very old drives can be fussy, but these days almost every mode is supported. try a simple data cd that is the - type. and check the media isn't damaged. It the problem persists you many have a damaged drive, £5 should get you a replacement :) > > -- > Kind regards > > Richard Brown > 07747 343637 > http://gucu.org.uk/ > > > -- > The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG > http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list > FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
