  • are they burnt cd? or original cds? I have problems with cd's bunrt in xp, and reading them in other ms os's
  • they are orig cds
  • are they getting error? or just wont read them?also has anything changes on there computer?? as in new programs? deleted something, was someone inside the case, maybe disconnection the ide cable
  • Get some canned air and get the dust out or get a lasor cleaning kit.
  • Or unscrew the drives top cover, and clean the lens with some cleansing alcohol. I've fixed loads of audio cd players that way.
  • TcH, take your drive to your friend.
  • well, turns out, her mom got the drive replaced (It was still under warentee) and it is on the way to her house...
