CD-RW Drive Exploding?

Recommended Posts

Guest T®ITEC

Actually it's just running super hot and the tray refuses to stay inside. But I'm getting very frustrated with CD-RWs and CD-Rs. I just had another CD-R stop responding last week.

 

So, I guess the real question is: who sells inexpensive CD-RWs and/or CD-Rs? Can I buy them in a pack of 8?

Uh, I guess the CD-ROM itself. Sorry, I'm so not up on legitimate terminology. But I'm sure that both are going bad after so long (3 years).

Have you been watching Myth Busters? Just buy a spindle of 100 cd-r for $20 from Walmart.

 

Buffer underrun problem? Try to burn at slower speed and don't forget to defrag the hardrive blah, blah, blah...

Pardon me, but what is buying blank CDs going to do if I can't use the burner?

 

What I have right now is a very expensive drink holder. I can't even burn CDs now because as soon as I put in a CD, the drive ejects the disc. I try closing it, but it just opens up again. I try holding it closed, but it just continues to try and force itself out.

 

I'm guessing there's no way to fix this, eh?
