Re: d:\ is not accessible??
My friend had this similiar problem, his CD drive could read regualar CDs but not burnt CDs. He just got a new CD drive and fixed that problem.
Re: d:\ is not accessible??
This is a new one. A GOOD ONE. It reads everything.

obveously not everything if it cannot read them :P

Re: d:\ is not accessible??
Sounds like either the disc is corrupt or you haven't got the correct software to read the format of that disc.
Re: d:\ is not accessible??
Are you sure you arent trying to load a DVD data disc in a CD-ROM /R/RW etc ???

I knew someone was going to say this.:dry:
It was cheap in price but it has played everything at one point or another. Its a Digital Technologies DVD RW 8X. Ive never had a problem with it in the past, especially not a CD-R compatibility issue.

The disc may be bad, yes. The correct software? Its a disc full of phone ringers etc. I doubt thats the problem, I bought it off eBay from a guy who sells tons of these and Ive read through his feedback and there are no complaints of this type. I emailed him and am waiting for a response.

.......Yes I'm sure:dry:
Re: d:\ is not accessible??
do you have another drive, or could you try it in a friends, just to make sure it's the disc?
and other discs work right?
Re: d:\ is not accessible??
Agree with Rossco, try it on another pc, sounds like a dodgy disc to me.;)
ps, why did you pay for it?
Re: d:\ is not accessible??
Have you checked that the disc was finalised when it was burned?

Yeah, every other disc of any kind I've tried works just fine. I did however take it to work today and tried it in my pc there. I went to run > d: and the pc said 'Please insert a disc'. Strange.

How do I do that?
Also, I emailed the guy today and he said he hasn't run into this problem yet. He says he's gonna send me another disc. I think he probably bought one of these and is just ripping them and reselling them. I don't care though as long as it works. (which it isnt:dry: ). Hopfully he will rectify the situation. Any continued help though is still appreciated.
Re: d:\ is not accessible??
He probably didn't burn it right. just wait for the new disc.
