I cannot seem to get this type of CD-R to recognise in this drive. Initially I also tried a 1x-4x CD-RW and this would not be recognised. It said something alongs the lines of &nbsp;'Please insert a CD into the drive'.<br />
I thought that it was because the CD-RW was too slow for the CD drive. I then tried a 1x-24x CD-R in the drive and managed to write to it perfectly. <br />
Then the user purchased the 1x-52x Imation CD-R's and now I have the same problem of it not recognising ... 'Please insert a CD into the drive'<br />
<br />
Can you please give me some insight. Is the disc now too fast for the drive???<br />
<br />
Thanks.
