Hi folks,
I found this site during a Google search. Hope you can help. Here's my problem. I have a TDK 24/10/40x cd burner that I use occaisonaly. Recently it has started acting up.. Not sure if it's Windows (XP Pro/SP2) or the drive itself. When I first turn the computer on and go to My Computer, it shows up as CD Drive (E Type=CD drive total space and free space are populated with correct info for cd currently in the drive. I can read the contents of the cd, install files, etc. If the computer is on for any length of time, the total size and Free space are blank, programs will not install and when I try to examine the contents of the disc, I get an error that says "Windows cannot read from this disk. The disk might be corrupted or it could be using a format that is not compatible with Windows".

Like I said, this just started recently (last couple of weeks). Any ideas as to what might be causing it to be recognized one time and not another?

Thanks.
Greg

Most likely it's a Registry issue or driver issue. You can try reinstalling/upgrading the drivers; you might also consider using a Registry cleaner program (PCWorld and TUCOWS are good places to start). Someone else may have a better answer, but those are where I'd start.
