[Toro]

Haha yeah that could be it.

 

[fillyacup]

ya, i got two cd drives an the burner aint working

ive tried windows player an real player an roxio

 

[V]

what error do you get?
Do those programs recognize it as a burner??

I think you need new drivers...

 

[fillyacup]

how would i go about getting new drivers? do i have to update the programs or players?

 

[CHAPO GUZMAN]

find the model of your drive, then go to that manufacturers website and find the drivers for it

 

[TONY206]

He doesn't need new drivers. How does it NOT work? Does it try to burn? Does it say there's no burner? Explain...

 

[JackArtist510]

did you delete any music programs lately? anyways, try a system restore to when it worked

 

[fillyacup]

it starts to burn, like the engine starts to start up an spin, than it clicks an stops like when 30% of the first track is going.

i slowed down the speed, sped it up. nothing

i dont think i deleted any programs lately. i cleared out alot of old porn though

 

[Syko Sniper]

use NERO and if it doesnt work post the model of the drive here

 

[fillyacup]

how much is nero? i aint got it

 

[TONY206]

It's either the physical drive worn out, or *maybe* the cd's, but I'd give that a <5% chance.

So get a new burner. Don't waste your time trying to figure out shit for something costs <$25.

 

[fillyacup]

25 bucks for a new burner?! ya? where that at? best buy?

as you can tell i dont know shit about computers
