Every now and then my pc won't read a disc, but normally taking it out and puttin it back in works, but in this case it doesnt, the disc is ok, my pc can read the type of disc. it's just when i put it in the pc hangs until i take it back out. any ideas how to fix it or whats wrong?

Also, the disc was written with my pc.

Oops, someone please move to tech talk

Floppy or CD? because floppies are known to randomly break...

is it heavily scratched, is there dust on it?

CD, and no, the disc is in good condition

EDIT : i got it to sort of read the disc, now unless the pic on teh disc is 2.10gigs, wheres the rest of my data

yea, they were written correctly, recordnow and no

the cd worked last time i needed the data off it, its just my pc is playing up now
