How do you fix a CD ROM that will write to a CD-R but won't read any kind of Cd? |

Replace The Drive
I would just replace the drive. Inside your drive there are two lasers. A write laser and a read laser. Your read laser has probably burned out so getting a whole new drive should do the trick. You can get a standard 52x/52x (read/write) CD-ROM/R/RW for about $35.
