I have 3 CD/DVD drives currently installed on my PC, 1 of them I just installed and works fine with CD/DVD's with data on them. However, NONE of my drives have or will recognize blank CDs or blank Dual Layer DVDs. All the drives I bought support them. I can however, recognize and write on blank single layer DVDs (the regular 4.7 GB ones). When I put a blank DVD in, explorer recognizes it as a "Blank CD," not a "Blank DVD."
I am using Windows XP SP3. Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT : Also, when I insert a blank DVD/CD, the drive name changes from DVD-RAM Drive to CD drive.

Might not hurt to check if a rootkit is installed.
