Are these new disks? If so, your firmware could need updating to recognise the new disks. However, that isn't gunna happen, seeing asMicro Advantage are out of business and there's no firmware available. See this thread... http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=168593 Before doing that, you can try different makes of disk, ie Verbatim, and also, clean your drive laser with a cleaning disk or lint free cloth. ~Ripper.
