    don't worry, your questions help answer questions which other users might have, before they ask!

    anyway, its a strange problem! have you tried waiting for a bit after you insert the CD for the first time, as my Plexwriter takes a few seconds before you can access the CD. Other wise you could try updating the firmware?

    well its strange, because i insert the cd, double click on the cd drive and it shows a blank disk, you'd think that it would say device not ready or no disk in drive, thats when I have to open the drive door then close it again and it works fine.

    Very strange indeed......

    What OS are you using? XP?

    try doing a windows update, you might find something there...
    I find this very strange! :confused: let us know if you find out what is causing it...or it might just be a hardware fault! :blah:

    If your burners still under warranty I'd get it checked out, just had a friend who's 40x burner started dong the same thing and the laser was going in the unit.
