I have a CD burner that will randomly see CDs. Wether they are commercially done or burned CDs. The CD drive will keep saying it is not ready, put CD in drive. Then I will put a different CD in the drive it will see it so i put the first CD back in the drive and it will then see it also. It is an older system and a fairly new CD burner. It is running Win98. Any ideas???
 
Try the following steps:
1. Reset the bios
2. Then boot into safemode and go to the device mmanager.
3. Uninstall(delete) the cd-rom and dvd, hard disk controllers.
4. Click ok, and reboot into normal mode.
5. Windows will find the "new hardware" and re-install the drivers.

hope this helps
