re: CD Drive won't recognize burnt CD's Saturday, May 28, 2005 at 2:40 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Matthew D. Healy (1255 messages posted) What type of CD drive do you have? Does your CD drive come bundled with "DirectCD" or similar "Packet Writing" software? If these questions mean nothing to you then before returning to this forum read the following with close attention: http://www.cdrfaq.org/faq There are several likely causes for your problem, but the most likely is that your computer does not have the software needed to read a CD that was created by the "Packet Writing" method. If you read this FAQ with close attention, you will then understand this and other possible causes and be able to repost with dramatically more details, at which time we might be able to help you further.
