could someone please tell me there is a solution to this problem that has been bugging me for months now.
for some reason, my cd drive no longer wants to read blank cds or cdrws. whenever i try to burn a disk i'm told that there is no cd in the drive! it has worked fine in the past i have no idea why it's done this all of a sudden.

cheers in advance
