None of the new SACD (Super Audio CD's) that I just got will play from the d:
drive (Toshiba) of my HP Pavillion notebook. Media Player 10 shows: "No disc
in D: drive." It won't let me rip or play. But other, non SACD disks will
play. Any ideas on how to fix this problem? 2 HP Support sessions were total
time wasters. Why do I even bother?
 
Oh, I forgot to add--the SACD's will play from my Old Windows 98 Gateway D
drive with the little CD player utility that came with the old gal. I copied
that CD player utility to my HP notebook, but it still won't read the disc.
How is this possible. I bought 6 Dylan cd's and I can't upload them or
listen to them from my pc...I am so pissed.
 
What use are these links? They don't say anything about not being able to
play a disc created with their technology on my pc. Are there instructions
on these sites for fixing my problem? Or, ARe you saying I should e-mail them
that their technology is a rip-off? It seems if I was going to go down that
road, I should e-mail Columbia records or Sony or whoever employs or buys
this Philips technology. Could you straighten me out on what the links are
for?
 
My my, what hostility. If you check the links, you'll find out that those CD's
will not play on your PC's CD player (WMP). Also, you can access their
tech support, for which you paid, and get assistance instead of venting
your frustration on people that are trying to help you.

I am assuming that these are hybrid discs since you state that they will play on
an older system. Hybrid SACDs will play in all CD-ROM and CD-RW drives. They
will play in some CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drives, and will not play in any DVD-ROM
or DVD-RW drives.
Non-hybrid SACD discs will not play on any PC drive.
