cd drive not working

[hugeass]

hey every 1 i formatted my laptop not long ago due to a virus and ive noticed now when i burn a cd theres nothing on it :(, the program i use to do it works the same as usual but when it says burn succesful and i pop my cd in to a cd player its just blank, also when i insert a cd (with music on) in my laptop the cd drive does not read it the dvd drive does, my driver is a TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-LR33A ATA Device (i think lol) please help guys thanks

What burning software do you use?

 

Some of them run a 'test' burn before actually burning, its easy to think its been done. It's worth checking the settings.

In what format did you burn the music?

 

What software did you use to burn the music?

[hugeass]

i normaly use windows media player just click burn then drag whatever music into the burn box and click start burn it then comes up saying writing to disk on each track and like i was saying it says burn succesful at the end and ejects the disk but theres nothing on the disks :( its deffo set on audio cd and ive tried nero aswel but same again the program says the operation was succesful but the disks are blank :mad:

When you formatted did you get all relevant drivers from the laptop manufacturers site?

 

What make of lappy is it by the way?

to be honest this is a first time ive ever formated a pc/laptop im not sure if ive done right or wrong :confused2: i have a ADVENT 5611

Your Advent has a single DVD±RW Supermulti drive. By your first post you can read DVD's but not read CD's in that drive.

 

Any drivers you need would have been on a disk. No drivers are available for download from Advent or The TechGuys.

 

However you should not need any specific drivers for that drive.

 

I think the CD portion of that drive has failed. For a disk to seem to complete a burn when it has not happens on a failed drive.

 

And by the way your Advent should have the Cyberlink Power2Go software installed.

hey guys ive finaly got it :D i simply used the cyber link power2go program, i dunno why ive never tried that before lol i just couldnt understand why my previous programs where letting me down, anyway thanks a bunch guys specialy randyl much appreciated

[RandyL]

Thanks. At least we know the drive works and you have a way to burn now.

 

I'm at a loss as to your original issues though.

Hi

 

See if there is a firmware update available for your drive at the manufactures website.
