Dear All,
I salute you.
I’ve tried to find in the previous discussions some information I need, but I didn’t find. Please help me to solve a problem that bothers me.
I have a PC (AMD Athlon 1.10GHz, 256 RAM, WinXP) and a DVD-RW drive NEC ND-3550A. Everything works normally but I cannot read so often the DVDs I wrote. It seems that my PC sometimes sees a DVD as a (empty) CD, but not all of them.
After a DVD has been burned, I insert back the DVD and my computer may see it or not. The funny thing is that all these “bad” DVDs are fine on other computers and some times they may work on mine (rare cases). There are other “good” cases in which they have no problems and I can read theme without problems. Usually, a DVD is “bad” or “good” from the very beginning and remains so indefinitely.
Should I throw this bloody PC away and buy a new one or could I do something to fix the problem? Otherwise, I can do all my work on it…
Thank you very much for your attentions.
All my best
