i had 1 do somthing similar to that some time ago and after messing with it for a while i ended up installing a new drive and it fixed it if your drive has been around a while it may be starting to go on the blink . u can do the trouble shooting thing on it but even if it is messed up it usually wont detect the problem anyway.
Thanks jimfred. My 'puter is about 1-1/2 yrs. D drive rarely used. Plays CD's for other functions. Started when I was attempting to copy a disc and then burn one from it which would have been the first since I owned 'puter. I'll battle it a while longer. Thanks again......Woody
The topic link mentioned above is "How to Fix a Code 39 Error" -- I wasn't getting the Code 39 error either, but the solution worked for my "dead drive" problem.
Check out the FAQ under CD/DVD before you give up. My NEC DV-5700A was giving the "No disc in drive" error, and I thought my drive had gone bad. The tip on deleting filters with REGEDIT brought my drive back to life. My error was related to a listed known problem between Roxio's CD Creator and Windows XP, and I call down blessings on the head of those who found the solution.
