Your CD drive doesn't recognize CD rw disk why not?

Answer 1

AnswerIt may be quite possible that your CD-Drive was not equipped with a +RW reading feature. The CD may not also be recognized due to an over excessive amount of scratches on the reverse side of the disk. Try checking your CD-Drive capabilities. Some CD-Drive disc readers may also only read DVD+R Disc's. That could also be why.

The above is a terrible answer. Yes its possible but not likely that the drive is not capable of RWs, but most computers made in the last 7 or so years are. And there are no drives that will read DVDs only but NOT read CDRWs. Drives that could burn CDs came first, and later when the DVD writing drive came out they all had the ability to do CDs too.

Also they never actually answer the question of why the drive wont recognize the RW discs if its supposed to but wont. Where do you get these people?
