I have HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4240N. It seems to be a problem though with either
the cd rom drive or the operating system because whatever CD I put in it does
not recognize as a CDR or a CDRW eventhough it does read from them. It tells
me that there is no disc in the drive and to please insert a writable CD into
the drive. I am running a DELL INSPIRON 1100. Any help or advice on this
would be appreciated. Thanx.

Either way, asking about optical drive issues in a .NET programming group is
unlikely to get you much assistance. Try asking in a group for you version
of Windows. Here's how to find it.

As you appear to be using a web interface, start here to find an appropriate
group:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.aspx

Click the + beside your language. then scroll down to Windows. In Windows,
open the category for your version of Windows, then find a group there to
post in.
