Dvd rom not recognising blank discs

This might be a stupid question, but when I put a blank cd-r disc into my
drive, it is not recognised by the computer. The green light flashes a bit
and then message "put blank disc into Drive D" appears as though there is
nothing in there.Can you help an ignorant, but frustated user ?
I have an HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM gdr8164b installed on a HP Compaq dx2200 MT. By
the way it plays and opens discs with data on already. Can I actually back up
data using this drive?
Thanks v. much

HOW to tell: Look at the front of the CD drive: Does it say something
like: Rewritable, or RW on it? IF not it's unlikely to be a burner.

Indications are, however, that your drive does not support cd creation.
