Default DVD Burning Problem!

Whenever I try to burn a DVD,I get a "please insert a blank disc" message. This happens no matter if I use Nero(6.6.0.1.5) or DVD Santa. It does'nt matter if I try to use the system burner which is a HP 840b DVD "Lightscribe DVD SuperMultiDrive" or the external Sony DW-Q28A burner.My PC is a HP m7250n Media Center,2.8GHz,750GB Seagate HDD,4GB DDR-2 RAM,ATI Radeon X300se graphics.I should also mention that I have another HP Media Center PC,the model m7360n which has the exact specs and hardware of the m7250n except it has Wi-Fi, an nVidia GeForce 6200SE graphics and the external burner on this PC is a Sony DW-Q30A.I have no problems at all burning on that PC using the exact same software.Can anyone tell me what is the problem?!?!? Please...HELP!!!--Thanks,"Mac"

Does this issue occur with 'any' type of disk you attempt to burn such as data disk (files & folders) .. including CD's not only dvd's?

If it were a mac I'd suggest a 3rd party app which forces the OS to recognise the burner (though that's supposedly not necessary for Leopard.)

For windows I wonder if the burner is in fact configured in the system as being recognised & used by burner programs. I recall from years back a similar issue & needed configuration in system hardware settings. (Sometimes you also need to set the burner program to choose which drive to use for burning in the burner's settings.) I'm not the best one to answer this but thought I'd get the ball rolling so to speak.

The only thing that comes to mind is that maybe it's a bad batch of disks you are using. On the one that works, did you use the same disks you used that failed on the other drives?

I've seen this problem, and solved it by simply rebooting...and one time by reformatting and doing a clean install of the OS...

there is something deep and dark going on here...I've never figured out the real root of it, but I suspect its something to do with a malicious script (read virus) embedded in certain downloaded files...

how about this...try uninstalling all burning software and any codecs you have instaled...then reinstall...and while you're at it do a virus scan
