New person here!
I have a SamsungCD-R/RW SW-252F. I also have a Samsung DVD Rom SD 816B. Both of which are just over a year old.
My issue is with the CD-R/RW.
When I put a disk in the tray the light flashes 4 times and the machine "clicks" several times and then nothing. The computer doesn't recognize that a CD has been inserted. When I try to burn a CD, the computer tells me to insert a CD in the drive, however it is already there! I am using NERO and Roxio.
The only thing that happened recently is that I was using photoshop CS and Pics2exe when both of the programs froze. When I rebooted the machine, all of my Photoshop defaults had disappeared and the pics2exe program ran slowly. Just when it seemed they were back in working order I tried to burn a slideshow with music and the CD-R/Rw would not work.
I unplugged/replugged things and that didn't do anything. I ran a virus scan..nothing.
Also, the device manager says "these devices are working properly".
Hope this isn't too confusing. I am so frustrated.
Any thoughts??
Thank you!
