    I was burning dvds perfectly for about a year then it just stopped working. Sometimes I use to get a light ring on the back of the dvd, but now I'm not getting anything. When I put a blank dvd in the drive it says 0 free space and 0 total size. I am using verbatim blanks. I have a toshiba sd-r6012 drive on a sony vaio. PLEASE HELP
