I have not burnt a CD in a long time, but I burn DVD's all the time so my disk drive works.  Bur for some reason when I put a CD-R in it, the computer does nothing, you can hear it inside spinning but does nothing.

Does any one know why this could happen?? Im clueless  

But the way I have Window Vista Ultimate.

PooP

Thanks

sometimes drives do that i think
ive heard a couple of cases when people played the ps1 games on their ps2, and after a while it stopped reading dvd ps2 games..

i suggest what diego said, also try unplugging and replugging your disk drive

I burn dvds like everyday so the burner works

i could try un pluging it though..?

Try other CDs.  Brand new doesn't necessarily mean un-faulty...

you could also try upgrading the firmware and drivers for your drive.

maybe ur lens is getting bad

But I burn dvd's EVERYDAY!

and they always work just fine

CD burning portion is probably stuffed then.

If you suspect a software issue, try another OS.  If that doesn't work, it's hardware.

If so, you can try one of those CD lens cleaners (probably won't work).

Otherwise, you're stuck to buying a new burner - they aren't that expensive these days anyway.  I just bought a new DVD burner cause the old one stopped burning DVDs...
