Yesterday i bought a computer with cd-rw. And the seller gave me a cd that is playing in the drive but my cd is not playing even it is not having scratches,dust or anything else and that is a cd-rom. Please help.
Well if you just bought it then I would TAKE it back, but have you tried a different Cd in there? Try putting a music Cd in and a software Cd in the drive. Does this drive show up in My computer and can you explore the Drive when a Cd is in?It may not have the audio cable that goes from the CD Drive to the sound card/Motherboard.

Take it back and get them to show you if it has the cable or not.
If they try to charge you for it, it should be free, don;t let them con you into PAYING more.on the other hand, one could just set the drive for Digital Playback; which is BETTER quality anyway.He could, but I wasn't 100% SURE if that was his problem QUOTE from: Crafty on January 10, 2009, 03:22:43 AM
