My Burner will not recognize blank cds. Therefore I cannot burn anything. It is a TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H552B . I can read music discs, data discs, game, programs. I can read everthing but blank discs. I have burned discs before then just yesterday it quit working on me after I copied a disc. I found out when it wouldn't make me another copy. I put the blank disc in. It acts like it is reading it the green light comes on then it does that for a while. Then it just stops. does not eject the disc. Then I check and see what is in the drive from my computer and nothing is in the drive. Even when I try to burn a disc it says insert a blank disc. I have tryed 100 discs and not one has worked. They are all the same type of discs and I have burned cds with them before on the same exact disc burner.

Im not using nero i am using cd burning wizard that came with windows xp, but will that still correct the problem
Nope Nero info thing doesn't work it says there is no disc in the drive but there is it is just a blank disc and it wont recognize it
good grief these must be real nasty discs by the sound of it, do the discs say anything on the actual discs ?
