Pioneer A05 Burnt Data CD's Won't Read

[hgwy407]

I have a Pioneer A05 and am using Windows XP. I recently noticed that burnt data cd's (containing jpeg's) won't recognize on any drive, in any computer. I used Nero first and it appears as though the entire burn process goes smoothly. I can even "see" the burned data on the disc. I have even used several types of blank media, Verbatim, TDK, Fuji, Memorex, etc. All have the same problem. I even used Gear and have the same problem. Also, I can burn audio cd's and they burn with no problem and can play anywhere. Any ideas? Thanx

Hi hgwy407, Welcome to our forum!

What mode are you using for DataCDs?
try it again with Nero (classical interface):
- No Multissesion
- ISO Level 1
- Mode 1
- ISO 9660
- Joliet
- Burning
- Finalizing Disc
- Burning Speed 16x
- Disc At Once
nothing more selectect ==> then press Burning

so it seems to be a hardware failure; a DVDRW drive contains two different optical parts, one for CD burning/reading and one for DVD burning/reading; the CD part seems to be dirty/faulty;
if it's still under warranty, then try to get a free replacement;
if not, go to your local PC shop to let it cleanse;
