DVD Drive can not read blank DVD disks.

[Guest]

I have a problem with my drive reading blank disk of any kind. I have tried
them all - DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW. When I insert a blank disk to make
movies, Windows Explorer reports that there is 0 USED space and 0 FREE space;
hence other software can not write to the blank disk.

Please NOTE the following:
(1) I can play DVD titles.
(2) I can read READ/WRITE CD roms
(3) I have InterVideo software, WMM, IE7, XP SP2, and WMP 11 installed

Please help.

============================
Maybe your burner reads and writes
CDs but only reads DVDs.

What is the brand and model number
of your DVD drive?
