Burner is there, blank disc is not?

[AAvK]

How do I fix that??? Hardware manager and explorer ell me the drive is there
yet not one single burning app, including windows, will acknowledge that a
blank disc is in the drive, a newly discovered problem.

Any solution to this problem?

Maxtor 80GB /8MB IDE, Abit Serillel SATA adapter to board
Maxtor 40GB /2MB IDE to board IDE
Coolmax CR-550B (550 watts, single 140MM fan)

TIA,

Open device mgr,scroll to the cd,expand the tree,R.click on the hardware,
select,uninstall.You can/could,restart-xp reinstalls on start up,or shutdown,
power off,move the cd to another IDE connection.If later,set the jumper pins
as needed...
