    HP DVD-RW Drive not reading ANY blank CD-R!

    Ok.....when I first got the HP DVD-RW Drive....HP360.....it would read and burn Audio Sony CD-R's fine. Lately though I have tried Maxell and Sony Audio CD-R. It can read Sony CD-R fine if it is not audio, but if it is audio to burn my CD's with it will not read them. So I have no idea whats going on and I have borken three CD's I have gotten so mad. Can someone please help me.

    Welcome to windrivers forums ComputerSpitz.

    Sounds to me like your unit doesn't really like these media, are they on your burners supported list ?, if they aren't I'd suggest just try to burn a bit slower & see if that takes care of matters.

    If you are a bit more technically inclined you might consider flashing your units firmware (try some links off the sticky in this forum) which generally cures media compatability issues.

    Have you added any software that might affected matters ? (anything that can write to cd\dvd has a habit of adding its own driver function, which can cause issues)
