Hi all, I don't burn many CDs and the last one I burned went fine. But tonight I tried to burn 2 different images and both appeared to burn fine. But when I put the disks in, nothing was on them. Tried shutting down, different media and 3 different burning programs. All failed. Has anyone else seen this? I did notice that on reboot, if there was not a cd in the drive, the drive icon was missing from explorer. Any ideas?
Is it a CD or DVD? Cause ive had similar issues before when i used DVD+R's but when i burned them on DVD-R's it worked just fine.
I have the DVD drive. I've now tried 4 different types of media. I am suspecting a short or disconnected cable because I've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. Still having issues. My M15x is 1 year old as of January.
do those disks work in another dvd drive? i had a similar issue where i could not see any disk data that i had burned. i ended up using this as an excuse to do the ssd hdd mod.
Xeroxide, good idea on the mod! Actually, I just ran one of those cd cleaner disks through it and it burned a DVD-rw. It was failing on it before. Maybe it's fixed now? Not sure. I can go through some cd/DVD drives faster than anyone I know.
hah http://forum.notebookreview.com/ali...drive-hdd-caddy-installation-56k-warning.html all credit goes to villosa for that idea, i just needed a nudge to make the switch. i find it a pain to clean slot loaders since half the cleaners don't work properly unless it's a tray loader. great if it worked though.
