I have a dell 2400 with a samsung sw-252s cd/rw burner. I backed up some photos on a memorex cd-rw ultra speed media, and when I put the cd in, it just reads, when I try to access the d:, it locks up. anyone know why this happens?

Will the disc work in another PC?

Do other burned discs work in the drive?

Yes, other discs work, but it seems as if all of my cd-re (memorex) are not working?

Sure sounds like a media problem. The RW's may be worn out, low quality or both. It may help to try burning them as slow as possible :)
