A CD-ROM drive will *never* recognize a blank CD-R.

And how, pray tell, do you suppose that those links will
help the OP to do the impossible (have a CD-ROM drive
see a CD-R)?

Why in the world would they have a blank CD for a CD-ROM drive? It just
doesn't make any sense. That is why I am pretty sure the OP meant his CD
Writer, but just called it a CD ROM. But nobody uses the right
terminoligy in here, so your guess is as good as mine.

Mine does.

Why do you think this isn't possible?

Because yours is NOT a CD-ROM it's a CD-Recorder or CD-R drive.. Which
is what Nathan was refering to as "Nobody uses the right terminology in
here". A CD-ROM drive is a "Compact Disc-Read Only Memory" drive and
therefore incapable of recognizing a blank recordable disc.

Yer correct, of course.

I'd had this drive in for such a long time, I'd forgotten that it
wasn't a plain cdrom. lol
