Hi all
I'm having a problem with my CD Drive. When I put a new blank CD in it
shows 0 bytes of Free Space. If I try to open it, a error comes up that
says "Windows cannot read this disc. The disc might be corrupted, or it
could be using a format that is not compatible with windows." The same disc
use to work fine. Can anyone help me?

Click to expand...

If you are not intending to use a third party CD writing utility, you need
to enable CD recording in XP. Right click the CD drive from 'My Computer'
and select the recording tab. Check 'Eanable Recording for this drive'.
Click OK. It should now work as you expect.
