My Disk drive is not reading blank disks but the disks with data is working fine! I've tried updating the firmware but with no luck! I've only tried DVD and the blank one is not at all recognized by the computer on clicking the disk drive the message pops-up "please insert a disk into drive :E" even when there's a disk already, can anybody please help me? and i'm using windows 7 as well this problem started after i upgraded to windows 7 from XP and i don't remember the last time i burnt a disk! i want to burn a disk as soon as possible so please help me out!!!
Thank you in advance!! :(
