It seems that your cd rw burner has reached it's MTBF, or it might have even over lasted it, I myself experienced such problems and the only way to solve it is to replace its read write assembly as a package, it is available at all LG computer peripherials store.

MTBF or MTBR - mean time before repair,, mean time before failure,, it's mentioned at the very last part of all cd or dvd rw's manual.

How to install nortons

If you are trying to install Norton from a CD/DVD, insert the CD/DVD into your CD/DVD drive.

If the autoplay option shows up automatically, click on "run ****.exe from the CD/DVD" and it will start installing Norton. Now, during the installation, you must follow the on-screen instructions.

If the autoplay doesn't show up, open your computer, right click over the CD/DVD drive and click on "Open Autoplay". Select "run ****.exe from the CD/DVD" and Installation will now start.

If you want to install Norton from a downloaded copy, double-click over the downloaded package (****.exe) and follow the on-screen instructions.

Hope this helps, Mrityunjay.

HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8527B is problem can't working

If the drive is not working then it will need to be replaced. Check to see if the door opens & lights come on after loading a disc. If they do then it is more likely a driver issue. You can try to uninstall the drive in device manager and then reboot to see if Windows identifies the drive and installs the driver. If the drive is dead then replace with a compatible drive. Hope this helps.

Hi there, as per your information the device working well. But not read CDs. So i suggest you install a CD/DVD Reader or rewriter software.
Because, with out the software your DVD/CD device can't able to read CDs. You can use Nero Express software for solving your problem.
Thanks & waiting for your feedback.

No read no write

One possible source of difficulty is there are different blanks for "slow" recorders (1x - 4x), "high speed" recorders (4x-10x), "ultra speed" recorders (12x-24x), and "ultra speed +" recorders. The disc manufacturers had to change the way the discs were made to accommodate each successive improvement, so older recorders don't work with the newer disks.
It is possible for some 4x-capable "slow" drives to use the "fast" blanks with a firmware upgrade, but there is no advantage to doing so since you're still limited to 4x recording (unless, of course, you're unable to find "slow" CD-RW blanks).
CD-RW discs for the faster drives are labeled with a "High Speed", "Ultra Speed", or "Ultra Speed +" logos. Make sure you buy the right blanks for your drive.
