Please help, My HP CD drive wont recognize disks.

[dummy27]

This happens to me too. I burn a disc, it says no space has been used up on the disc, but when I double-click on the disc it shows that all the files are there. Did you try that? Or maybe it can be the software that you are using.

When I double-click the E: drive from My Computer it opens the Disk Drive and asks me to enter a disk when I have a disk in there already.

Anyone have any more suggestions?

Did you try booting off any bootable disc already?

The drive is dead, enough already. Oh and Happy Easter everyone.

Yeah sounds like a dead drive to me too. The only thing I've had to replace on my laptop is the dvd drive, but I've burned many a disc with it so no big deal. You can replace the drive for around $100.00 if ya look around. Its usually just one screw, pull out old drive, pop in new one and replace the screw.

Good Luck,
