Yamaha CD Burner Problem
I am new to this forum. Great info. I have a Yamaha CD-RW 8424E using Windows XP. Until recently it always worked. Then all of a sudden using Nero 5 with Imation disks the drive stopped recognizing blank media and always ask me to insert a blank disk.

Please help.

Sounds to me like the drive has gone belly-up. Have you tried or recently updated the drive's firmware?

I conxur with adam, your drive has gone bad. Luckaly,good CD-RW Drives aren't all that expensive. Yamaha's 44x24x44 drive is good and so is a 52x24x52 Lite-On drive. If you have a lot of Multi-speed CD-R discs, the Yamaha is a good drive.

Quote:How are the Sony drives in comparison to the Yamaha and the Lite-On?
If I'm not mistaken, the 52x24x52 Sony is a rebaged Lite-On. The Lite-On is going to be much less expensive and if you get 52x CD-R's it will burn them at that speed(CompUSA has Memorex 52x CD-R's).

I like Lite-On drives, I think they perform well.
