I own a Windows XP computer and i have a cd burner and i have been able to
use it for several years now. Since a couple months ago when i put in a blank
cd to try to burn music onto it, it wont read the blank cd. It reads game cds
and movies and everything but not blank re-writable cds. i have tried
switching brands a couple times and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?
