Open case, unplug IDE cable and power, unscrew, remove, replace, replug good to go!! If you are on a budget by a Liteon drive from Walmart...if not purchase a Plextor or NEC drive! \n\nNOTE: When you say "doesn't open" I presume you have a defective drive...if you mean that you have a blank plastic space it will pop out from inside and should have all of the mounts to put in another drive. The current IDE cable will have the connection for the slave drive and you will probably have an additional power plug inside, if not you can purchase a Power Y-Adaptor at any electronics store like Bestbuy or Radio Shack.

you may not have finalized the cd, in which you would have to finalize it for a non-writable cd-rom device to read the disk, go to a friends or someone that has a cd-rom writer drive and ask if they can see everthing, if so just burn a copy and this time tell the burner software to finalize

Theres are chance it may work, but it will be very slow and there will be a high chance the burn will fail partway through.\n\nWhat kind of burner is it? does it have a buffer underrun built in? These days all cd burners come with it as standard.\n\ntry some new burning software and see if its supported by your operating sustem and cpu etc. \n\nCan you use the ram from the AMD computer in your intel computer? more ram will help a lot.

This should be a CD-R.   Try buring a new one, but select a slower BURN speed.  If it comes up with 16X, then use 8X speed.   Always cut the speed in half. \n\nYou also might need to get a CD Drive cleaning kit.\n\nGood luck

it could be because your burner broke?  or maybe it got unplugged?  Is it an internal burner or an external one?  If external, make sure that it is powered and that the connection cable is secure.\n\nThe best way to test is to simply put a regular music CD on the burner and see if you can play it using Windows Media Player.  Or just put in a software CD and see if you can access the files in it.  \n\nThis will tell you if your burner is still working.

try uninstalling any software pertaining to the burner (add/remove programs) restart the pc and then reinstall the software required to run the burner. also, try using the 'add new hardware' option in your control panel.

You're going to need some DVD burning software. Some should have come with the computer or DVD burner. Look in your start menu->all programs for something like MyDVD or Nero or Roxio. If you don't find anything then look through the disks that came with the computer or DVD burner for the same program names and install it.

DVD maybe faulty. Try burning on another DVD.. if nothing still works.. probab;y ur drive is faulty.

Its not the computer, its the driver.\n\nLook on your CPU and see if you have a DVD driver. It should say DVD on it. If it just says CD-ROM then you cant burn DVDs.

Make sure nothing is on the cd's and they are the right format. The format is all that makes the difference and a blank cd. maybe your laser or something needs cleaned off a little? I have a cd burner that has both cd r+ and cd r- so I dont have to worry about that. The is a cd with brushes on the from Maxell that I use to clean my heads on my lasers every month and dont have probs with em at all and I have had them from years.

Your best bet is to buy a REAL burner. Generic trashy third-rate brands like "Lite-on" and Sony arn't worth anything. (Sony simply re-packages third-rate drives with their logo)\n\nYou want a decent burner, get yourself a Plextor. Ask around, they make some of the best and most reliable burners on the market.
