Justin,
I wish, that was the case !
I tried my two of my CDs on my neighbor's Laptop (Dell, don't know about the
Optical drive) and both were recognized. If I am not forgetting (not 100%
sure), I used the optical drive on my laptop to burn one of those CDs and
now the same is not being recognized.

Also, when I inserted a CD which came free with PC Quest magazine, that was
recognized by my optical drive. Only thing common with CDs not recognized is
that both are from Moser Baer. But, I think that's a non-issue.
Any further pointers ?
