CD won't spin up

[JohnSteven]

Hi All,

I've got a Lite-on 32x12x40 CD-RW and have Roxio EZCD 5 with updates. My problem is that the drive will recognize anything I put in it except a blank CD-R. I've already run the repair from the Roxio CD and re-ran the update for the drive but I still can't get the drive to recognize a blank CD-R. Any ideas?????

I didn't know if I should put this in Hardware or Software, so I opted for Hardware..........

Do I understand correctly that it recognizes blank CD-RWs? If so, have you tried different CD-Rs, preferably from different manufacturers, to rule out a bad batch?

You're not alone,

Hi TomCologne,

Thanks for your reply.

I've tried 3 different brands (Phillips, Imation, and Sony) of CD-R's and none are recognized.

I don't use CD-RW's, only CD-R's. Please Post back, so other can benefit too.
