    You burn it again?

    If you got a crappy CD-RW drive then it's going to do that once and awhile.

    what kind of disks are you using?
  • noonenoone
    yes ive had, about 12 times!
    and the cdrw drive was 52 dollars if you wanted that information. i dont think its crappy, it never did this before.

    i spayed some canned air in there earlier and i noticed a little difference , ill try the cleaner later, but its still like a 50% corrupted cd that always gets done.

    Did you try this with any other stuff? Like burning different music or making a data CD?

    What about lower speeds of burning?
  • BODBOD
    check the cables

    Rather obvious, make sure nothing is running anything intensive that would cause a screwup.

    Try slower speed. Down to 8x or 4x.
  • Ka0sKa0s
    Lower speeds almost always fix problems with CD-R(W)s

    haha " Canned air" what a scam that is
  • QQ
    I know! We just use a vacuum-in-reverse with an air filter in it.

    or you could breathe out really fast LOL
  • noonenoone
    lower speed=still corrupted
    cleaning=still corrupted
    different prog=still corrupted
    turning everything off= no difference at all
    reinstalling all the software= works :)

    oh well. at least it works.

    Sometimes you can get the air from your place of employment or with rebates... but there is a compressed air line in the lab at school :)

    HaH! Someone reused a CHE lab!

    Actually it's the Research lab, not a Comp Sci lab.
  • QQ
    Yea but it sounds like it used to be a CHE lab. C@Hs lba has gas jets in it!

    Take out the drive and open the top and clean the eye very very lightly with a Q-Tip. Then put it back together and try it out.

    Was the problem in your CD Burn Software?
    And what were you using?
