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

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
