Newly burned dvd's detected as empty cd...
I have a brand new compaq sr1931 pc.The dvd writer burns the dvd and reads it too.I have update the firmware too.But sometimes it detects Newly burned dvd's by other pcs as empty cds...the Dvds burnt by me are sometimes read by other pcs as empty cds..I have a XP sp3 and its a dvd ram drive..any help will be appreciated.
A misaligned laser - the angle is slightly off resulting in patchy reads of your disks and others. Definitely a warranty replacement as suggested.

I rarely object to the closing of questions, but I believe my answer is actually closer to the truth. Please re-read the question and if you still decide in nobus' favour I will not object further.

I posted my comment in support of the opinion posted by Nobus. I too believe the drive is faulty. Of course JohhnyCanuck may also be correct but in the absence of any comment from the asker it is not possible to determine the actual issue. In this situation, and given the uncertainty, I would suggest a split.

have the laptop replaced, or repaired under warranty.
