Hi !
I have 52x24x52 CD writer. I had burned lot of CD-R and it read them very well, also worked good with multisession CD's. But now it sometimes totally refuses to read them and after opening and closing CD tray for 6-7 times it again reads them. For all other original CDs it works fine with first attempt.
Please help me as it annoys a lot.
Thanks in advance.

Some folks will say try a laser cleaner. It could also be the media - I've had lots of CDs go bad, especially Sony media. You weren't clear if "original" means pre-recorded (pressed) CDs or older burned CDs or what, but multi-session discs tend to be cranky anyway compared to disc-at-once recordings. So in your case all three - media, burner, and recording method - are equally suspect. Try different media and see if that works; otherwise, try a new drive. Whatever you do, I suggest backing up your troubled discs though.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
