CD-ROM does not recognize some CDs

My CD-ROM drive is very random about what it'll read. Audio, video, games, some work, some don't. The only thing that it consistantly does not read is blank CDs, which is what I need the most. (I'm trying to free up space on my hard drive by saving stuff to CDs) Any ideas what's causing this, or how to fix it? Thanks!
