I said this:
Either your CD is an unsupported format or your drive is broken.
Then Bob wrote this:
Wow, that's a mighty big leap without knowing what kind of CDs
I thought my statement was fairly generalized to cover pretty much any circumstance.
(are they be Windows CDs?)
This would fall under the "unsupported format" category.
and if all of the correct drivers are installed and active.
There is one extension. The DVD and CD drivers are the same, single system extension, the Apple CD/DVD Extension. If his computer is reading a DVD, then the drivers are installed. So obviously, its either an unsupported format CD, or the drive is broken.
I even recall a few months ago that some newly released audio CDs had a copy-protection scheme that caused all kinds of havoc.
This would fall under the "unsupported" format category.
I haven't heard much about it lately, so I don't know what the status is on that front.
I also noticed that sometimes CDs don't work in my Wallstreet drive. But they're usually CDs that I burn, in an unsupported format.
I've also heard of Wallstreet DVD-ROM drives going "bad" in regards to not being able to read CD-ROM discs. This may be the case.
