cd not playing

Post by gotchocolatemilk2 »

I put an audio cd in my computer and tried to play but it didnt even show that there was a cd in the cd drive. I then tried it in my cd walkman and it worked fine. what is causing it to not work, and how do i fix it?

does it spin the CD when you insert it? look for dirt or scraches on the CD it can make that happen to me....

what type of Drive is it? if it is a CD/RW drive then you probleby wore it out if you constantly try to copy majorly scratched discs.
