Please insert a blank CD.....except I already DID insert it!

Help! I'm using LiteOn486S (?? that's what it says, anyway) and it USED to work. Now, every time I try to burn something, it tells me there is no cd in the drive. Insert one. Did that. Won't start burning, tells me to insert a cd. What the?

This started happening when I downloaded Winamp, btw. I don't *think* it's driver-related, but I am just a girl, so what do I know?

Anyone? Anyone?

What program are you using to burn?

[hopeevans]

I've tried it using Media Player, Dell Jukebox and Real One. They all tell me the same thing.

My LiteOn LTN486S is a CD-ROM drive, not a writer. Is it possible you have the wrong drive selected in your writing software?

The timing may be a coincidence... I had the same thing happen to a TDK drive ( rebadged Liteon ) kept on one of our construction sites. I used compressed air to clean the drive and all worked fine afterwards.
