Doesn't read a blank CD

Drive D: or Drive E: will not read a blank CD-R or CD+R. It will read blank
CD RW & DVD RW. Both drives will play any media. I have recorded lots of
music and made copies in the past. Now every time I put a blank CD in to
record, it ejects right back out saying to put a blank cd in.And I have tried
different brands too. I have this problem with Media Player and with sonic
record now. It will work if I use a CD RW or DVD RW.I just can't figure out
what has happened that I can't do this now. I am quite niave when it comes to
working on this computer.So if you can simplify answers,it would be much
appreciated. Thanks for any help that anyone can give.

I've got the exact same issue...lost an entire Saturday searching for a
fix...

I hate computers.

Where / Who can we go to to get this fixed?
