PC wont see CDs, well some CDs

[The real Apache]

I can bung in one of our holiday pics and it's happy as larry but load one of some files dumped off another machine or a blank and it just says 'load a disc'

Any ideas?

Is it a CD/DVD player or CD/DVD Writer?

If you have the choice, try reading it in a CD writer - they are often more sensitive.

CD/DVD writer

The disc you're trying to read didn't burn properly.

It works on other pcs and blank ones don't read either, can;t find matsumi firmware and OS is XP home, I only have XP pro

He doesn't need to reinstall XP..

The disc he's trying to read which was burned on another machine simply didn't burn properly.

if I load a blank CD to copy to, it doesn't see that either
