Dell Inspiron 1420 is not able to read empty cds or DVDS. My I go to properties it shows empty space as 0. When I try to burn a Cd it says " Insert a blank CD"

Stephen buddy, we need to talk. I do NOT understand anything you are trying to describe. Okay, so you installed a FRESH Operating System and now it is NOT recognizing your DVD-rom, right? Okay, restart the computer and let Windows load up fully. Check Control Panel and check your list of Devices. Sometimes, when you re-install and O.S., you may have to update the firmware or drivers for certain devices.

CD not read

Does the CD have any large or visible scratches on it? If so, you might be able to use toothpaste to fix it. Apply toothpaste onto the CD, rub it in, wash and dry it, and try to use it again

My cd rom drive does

You could try any of these steps to check if it could help.1.) Try to check if your discs would be read in Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking. To do so, you can go by pressing F8 at startup and selecting the appropriate option from there. If it does work, then definitely there's a software that's causing the issue on your optical drive. If not, let's move on.2.) Try to remove upper and lower filters. Depending on your operating system, the steps needed would vary, but I would suggest that you just use Microsoft's Fix-It Utility. 3.) If you have Dell's OEM Operating System disc or their drivers "Resource Disc", you could also try to boot off of it to try to check your CD drive's functionality. To do so, go to F12 during startup [e.g. when the Dell logo comes up] and select the option to boot from the CD/DVD/CDRW drive. That would give you a clear indicator on whether your CD drive is still functional or not since it would not be affected by any software application.

After formatting my dell vostro

If you reinstalled Windows from the Dell-provided "System Restore" CD/DVD disks, you should be able to play DVD disks.

If you reinstalled Windows from some "other" Windows disks, you should be able to view the files/folders on any DVD-disk, but you will be lacking the software to properly "decode" those files, and to "play" the content.

Not write file on cd

First make sure your dvd drive is also a dvd burner, if it is not a burner then you can not write files to disks and will have to buy a new one

If that is not the problem, you have to make sure that you're using a dvd-rw (if the disc has info on it) or a dvd-r that has nothing on it. If you are not using one of those then the process will not work

Dell Inspiron 1505 DVD/CD-ROM drives not working:

The issue was caused by software that may have been installed with the option to burn or copy things to and from a disc.

The issue is resolved by the following:

Clicking start.
Typing regedit in the start search box.
Hit enter.
Look on left for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
Click the arrow to the left of it.
Look for SYSTEM.
Click the arrow to the left of it.
Look for CurrentControlSet.
Click the arrow to the left of it.
Look for Control.
Click the arrow to the left of it.
Look for Class.
Click the arrow to the left of it.
Look for the first line of random letters and numbers. Example: {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Click on the line itself this time. NOT the arrow.
Look on the right side under the data tab for (value not set).
Keep clicking the down arrow key until it says DVD/CD-ROM drives.
Then look under the name tab for either Upper Filter or Lower Filter or both.
Right on both these if listed (they may not always both be there).
Select delete.
Close windows and restart computer.
