Doesn't read a blank CD

[Guest]

Drive D: or Drive E: will not read a blank CD-R or CD+R. It will read blank
CD RW & DVD RW. Both drives will play any media. I have recorded lots of
music and made copies in the past. Now every time I put a blank CD in to
record, it ejects right back out saying to put a blank cd in.And I have tried
different brands too. I have this problem with Media Player and with sonic
record now. It will work if I use a CD RW or DVD RW.I just can't figure out
what has happened that I can't do this now. I am quite niave when it comes to
working on this computer.So if you can simplify answers,it would be much
appreciated. Thanks for any help that anyone can give.

I've got the exact same issue...lost an entire Saturday searching for a
fix...

I hate computers.

Where / Who can we go to to get this fixed?

and windows media player to attempt this but to no avail,i previously
have had no probs at all.My Pc is only 6 months old and its driving me
crazy as to what is wrong.Did either of you find a solution.Love to

Hello again,
I still haven't found a solution to my problem. I see I'm not the only one.
I tried restore at an earlier date, when I could record, thinking maybe that
some configurations were changed some how. I have tried everything! I thought
of buying other software, but not sure if that would solve the problem. It's
doubtful. I wish there was some one to help us. We would be so thankful if
some one had a solution!!

I have the same problem with my backup program. It will not let me clean off
my DVD-RW disk but will write to a DVD+/-R. It tells me that the disk is not
a rewritable disk and can't be reformatted. I can't work out6 a solution.

It reads all my disks and will play them as well.

Regards,
