cd/dvd drive wont recognise blank discs
hey guys ive got a toshiba satellite laptop, ive had it for just over a year and it has developed a problem with the cd/dvd drive.
it will read and play any disc fine but it will not recognise any type or brand of blank disc at all, so i cant burn anything to cd/dvd.
i have tried different programs and troubleshooting guides but i cant find anything relating to my problem.
if anyone can help me out on this one it would be greatly appreciated.
cheers guys.
bex.

so it worked and now it doesn't? If you use the same media that worked before and it doesn't now then it just means your drive is going out. Reading and writing are 2 entirely different processes for burners. Check to see if there is a warrenty on your laptop hardware (alot of times there are). if not, dvd/cd drive for laptops cost around 300.

your good mang...he was speculating. Sides, if you replace it yourself you might void your warrenty.

i was just reading the waranty booklet and they pretty much said everything is covered as long as it's not physically damaged or faulty because of a certain software you have loaded on or whatnot...
i will give them a call tomorrow if it needs a whole new drive i'm going to see if i can pay the difference to get a better one fitted instead of the standard shitty Matshita!
