    CdRW/DVD drive is no longer recongizing blank CDs

    Ok. I had a virus (bkdr_prorat.17) and it screwed up my stuff. Ive gotten almost everything cleaned up. Except now my cd drive doesnt read blank cds. It does everything else fine. Everytime i click on the drive with a blank load in, it tells me to insert a cd. It reads everything else like data cds, audio, and dvds. I have a sony vaio laptop pcg-nvr170. I tried to aspi layer and that didnt work. What should i do. thanks for the help.

    Sorry my hardware is a Matsu****a udja730 DVD/CDRW

    for some reason i have this same problem although my is only a cdrw

    i tried usin my computer opening it and it doesnt say insert disk just opens a blank window

    and when i try to use nero it just doesnt recognize any blanks and keeps tellin me to insert a blankk

    this is what the problem is now, b4 i would have to reboot after everytime i burned a cd because it would stop reading after burning once but now it doesnt read any blanks

    any help would be good, btw using win xp

    Welcome to Windrivers limak

    Have you tried completely uninstalling nero rebooting and then reinstalling the latest version for your Nero 5 or 6?
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."
