Re: CD drive will burn, but reads inconsistently
Larry, Does the CD drive read commercially produced discs OK? Can you use the discs burned on the problematic drive on other disc drives or players? Do you have Nero do a simulation before doing the burn? I'm wondering if when you burn a CD the drive might burn it badly and therefore it can be read only once or twice before the disc degrades. Moer questions than answers, sorry about that but CD burners have done real strange things for me. Tom ** Message Separator ** For some reason, my cd drive/burner seems to have trouble reading discs within Windows Explorer. No matter how many times I try reinserting discs, I receive the dialog box telling me that I need to place a disc in the drive, or something to that affect. This makes it hard to understand how Nero has no trouble burning cds at all. It seems to me that burning should be next to impossible if previously burned discs can't be read in the first place.

Re: CD drive will burn, but reads inconsistently
Hey Tom, Thanks for those suggestions. I did find that after putting a disc into the burner for reading, that when afterward placing the same disc in my Victor Reader Classic, that the medium was rejected. I've thought about the possibility that the drive might be defective in such a way as to make the laser capable of doing some kind of damage to discs, but thought that might be a bit paranoid and over the top, but I guess not. It might just be time for a new burner. I've had this Lite-on for a little over three years. As a matter of fact, it came with my computer. I'm definitely open to any other possible suggestions. After all, if to further troubleshoot this problem is to destroy my music, I can hardly justify doing that.

Re: CD drive will burn, but reads inconsistently
High Larry and Tom, I ran in to this kind of a problem to many times before. Before I got in to computers, I was and still am heavyly in to audio. This is the one thing that both audio cd players and cd drives for computers and even dvd players have in comend with each other. Over a periet of time, real fine dust particals will deposit themselves on the lazer lense. When that happens, that's when these machines have a problem playing back any cd or dvd you put in them. Their are lazer linse cleaning kits that you can use to get the dust deposit off of the linse. After cleaning the linse, these dvd players cd players and even computer cd/dvd drives are like new again. Try cleaning the lazer linse with one of these linse cleaning kits and see if that solves the problem. If it dosen't, then that's the time to replace the cd/dvd drive.

Re: CD drive will burn, but reads inconsistently
Hello TrueBlue and Proud, I once had a fisher highfigh double cd player/burner that gave me that problem eather way. A few times, I couldn't burn cds on it because it had a derty lazer linse. But when I popped one of those linse cleaning kits in to it, it allowed me to not only play cds, I was also able to go back to coppying one cd to another cd wich is the real reason why I bot that machine in the first place.
