WebCD Globe CD-ROM Drive Compatibility Problems


Some CD-ROM drives, especially older ones, may not be able to read recordable CDs. The problem may be that the disc is ejected, or you get error messages such as "no CD-ROM" or "not ready reading," or you have random problems accessing some files or directories. Some CD-ROM drives' lasers were not calibrated to read recordable discs, whose surface is different from that of factory-pressed (silver) discs. Check with the CD-ROM drive manufacturer to determine if an upgrade is available which will resolve the problem.

The combination of disc brand and CD recorder can also make a difference. Check with your recorderÆs manufacturer for a list of discs which they have certified for use with their recorder.
