| The magical CD-R(W)? I have a strange story to tell... One of my CD-R's which I know had something on it, was not spinning right for some strange reason. So I take it out, and clean it, and put it back in. As soon as I put it back in, I see the "what to do with this blank cd" screen. I went to my computer, and found that the whole CD was EMPTY, and it had FULL free space. Anyone please tell me what the heck is going on? I thought CD-R's couldn't erase things and have free space, plus, how the hell did I erase everything just by cleaning the CD? |

| I once faced the same issue. Solution was to RMA my CD Writer ... as it was broken ! At least try your CD-R in another drive, to check this hypothesis. Another problem can be that you CD-R is severely scratched, and that damaged sectors let it appear as blank. Last edited by Bill_Boquet; 18-12-2003 at 12:01. |
