    Default CD Burner/ DvD Burner Combo

    I have a CD/DvD combo drive went to put a cd into it and would not pick it up. I then connected a normal cd burner to the pc, it picked up the cd and ripped the contents of it no problem.

    The brand of the cd/dvd combo is a Sony DRU 800a
    The cd burner is a LiteOn 52*32*52 Model SOHR-5238S

    Pays to keep old burners.

    Why is this so.

    One for the pc guru

    Thanx.

    Swatty.

    Sounds like the laser may be out of alignment.

    Given that you gan get a new burner for $25 ~ $30 I wouldn't be loosing any sleep over it.

    If you don't want to part with the money, just keep both drives hooked up to your tower.
    Reality is an invention of my imagination.

    Hi Fernbay,

    Thanx for the quick reply. I 4got 2 mention that the combo drive works normally, ie burns and reads all other CD/DvD's. Go figure.

    Thanx again for the quick response.

    Swatty.

    This is a common problem.

    It has been known for many years now, that CD and DVD players will not successfully read approximately 10 per-cent of copied CD's and DVD's.

    This is no doubt due to manufacturing/production tolerances.
