Solve : CD-RW Cannot Read after it Burns?

1.	Solve : CD-RW Cannot Read after it Burns?
Answer» My office purchased an emachine with a no name burner. I have no problem reading music CD's. I have backed up files on a new CD-RW and the files are present when I go to My Computer. When I attempt to read those files I get an error "No CD in E: drive". I have unistalled in Device Mgr. and rebooted. Windows recognized the new hardware and loaded generic drivers. I reburned and I have the same error. Tech support went as far as telling me to re-formate my hard drive??? In my opinion, they should install better hardware. Disk manager recongnizes the drive as E: and there are no obvious conflicts::::Any Thoughts?Have you tried a different brand of CD-RW?toda1Thanks Raptor...I've tried three different labels to no avail...I can't understand why it can't read its own burn? I have even tried different software other than Microsoft system package...Can it read other CDs?What program was used to burn data to disk!I first used Microsoft that comes with XP Pro...when the device couldn't read I thought it was missing a DLL file as opposed to a driver which it would have poped up a missing driver message....I down loaded CD Burner XP Pro 3~an online freebie. It doesn't have a problem reading disks I load, except when I "burn" using the drive...I continually receive the same message using both burn programs. Files are recorded on the disk...I tried the disk on my home computer and received the same message. no disk is in E--drive cannot read...The files are there...but the drive doesn't recognize them...I did burn files at home and brought them to the office and the drive "could" read them. Emachines has been no help at all...I requested a replacemment drive with credit card info and a month later no response.
