Can't rip my CDs...help!

[Nutdotnet]

I am trying to rip my CDs under WinXP using a generic 56x CD-Rom drive.

This is my first time doing it so bear with me.

Can generic CD-Rom drives even rip data? I am using Windows Media Player and it will act like it is copying but when it should say "Copied to Library" it says "unable to copy data" or something like that.

Is there certain options I need to select or do I need to wait till my Cendyne 24x10x40x CD-RW gets here?

Thanks!

Well Windows Media Player (at least the one that comes with XP) works pretty well for ripping cds, plus it does a great job organzing them with Jewel Case liner note pictures and everything.

My roommate does not have a problem ripping CDs with WMP in XP....

I will give y'all my specs.

T-bird XP 1500+
MSI KT266 Pro 2 (KT266a)
512mb Crucial DDR
30gig Maxtor HD....

I don't think it is a hardware issue, but could be wrong.....
