Can someone please help, A few days ago i used partition magic to partition my hard drive. I now have 140gb in fat 32 and 20gb in ntfs. After this my dvd re-write drive will not copy audio cds, its seems to have no problem in copying to dvd. When ever I put new blank audio disc in it doesn't recognise there is a disc present


cheers

What program are you using to burn audio CD's?

If it is Nero are you making sure that when you open the program you choose CD then AUDIO and not DVD..

Yes m8 it is nero and I am changeing from dvd 2 cd, the pc just won't recongise that there is a blank cd present. This also happens with all the other software I have tried.

Alright could you try the following:

Put a blank CD into your drive and does it popup asking you how to open the CD.
If so choose "Open writable CD folder"

Otherwise open your windows explorer and browse down to your dvd drive.

Once you have done this, drag some music or files into your DVD drive, once they are on there click on Write to CD.

If this works then at least we know that the drive is detecting CD's properly.

Could you give us the make and model number of your drive?

Do you have a CD-RW and a DVD-RW connected or just a DVD-RW?

Its just a dvd re-writer I have copied audio with no problems b4 I partitioned my hard drive..

Right I just did what u said but it tells me that I don't have a blank disc in the drive, so I put another 1 in and it came up with the same message again. As soon as Iput the disc in the drive I hear it spin but I don't get a window asking what program I would like to open the disc with?. b4 I partitioned my hard drive it asked me....

Hmmm....

Alright try go into your Device Manager and uninstall/delete anything that is under the "DVD/CD-ROM drives" section.

Then restart your machine and it should re-install your DVD drive.

Another thing you could try is disconnect your DVD drive, turn your PC on without it, go into windows and then shutdown.
Re-connect the drive, boot up and see whether it works.

Seems like something has become corrupted somewhere along the line, might also be worth running a Regclean program to make sure that your registry is free from all errors.
