Can't read burnt cds

I'm using Nero v5 to burn some cdr & cdrws to backup some files.
Except now windows explorer, my computer or just windows xp in general can't read my cd. When i put the cd in my cdrom drive it asks me to insert a cd, implying that there is no cd in there. When i try to open my cd in my bruner drive, its comes up as a blank cd.
What happened? It used to work. About 2 months ago. Could it to do with the new fan I just installed who's power cable is linked to the cd burner? (although I doubt this)

re-check all the cable connections to be sure they are seated properly.

Maybe just roll back your system to the time it did work...about 2 months before...give that a shot

Were these the CDR's or the CDRW's that you burned that you cannot read? It is not unusual for a burned CDRW to show up blank in another drive. Let us know.
