CD not detected in drive

[Mikewl812]

I'm trying to use the built-in burner Wizard in XP but am constantly told that there's no CD in the corresponding drive when in fact there is. Is there a simple solution for this?

Thankyou

Maybe...I had a CD burner hooked to an onboard Hi-Point IDE cont. and I could read CD's but it would not see it as a burner. This was true in Nero as well. The solution was to move it to the onboard 33 cont.
Good luck!

So far my first and only problem since I installed XP over a month ago was with the built in burning utility. It's funny because that was the very first time I tried to use that feature of XP. I did a format of a CD-RW and after the format I couldn't access the disk or even eject it. The manual eject button was not responding. After a system reboot I was able to open it. I'm going to avoid using that feature of XP from now on. I was lazy and didn't want to load up Nero so I thought I'd try XP's feature. I have to say it's nice to see my system not crash like they did before XP. I'm sure many people hate the color BLUE now from all those BLUE SCREENS.

As for the Easy CD Creator program here's some information.

1. Pretty unstable burning engine.
2. Lousy, at best, DAE quality.
3. Elementary CD copy utility, DAO is not an option- virtually.
4. Can burn only mode1/2048 ISO images, rejects all other ISO files.
5. Crappy support for 80 min. CD's
6. No overburning feature.
7. Childish "spin doctor" .wav processing utility, it's really nothing more than a brutal frequency filter.
8. If you ever succeed to make a photo album with it, just let me know.
9. Too simplistic inlet editor.
10. Creates grave problems for many other burning applications by installing measly+ unnecessary drivers/virtual devices (on purpose!).
11. Comes with Direct Rewritable Destroyer, sometimes described as DirectCD.
12. Non existent customer support.

If all the problems above have been corrected on newer versions, please let me know and I'll look at it again. If not, I'll stay with Nero!
