    My CDRW will not recognize blank cds.....please help

    I have a HP Pavilion 762n with a P4. The cd-rw drive i seem to be having a problem with is a MITSUMI-CR48XATE. Ok here is my problem....

    When i put in a blank cd to the drive it doesnt detect it. When i look at the properties of the drive, it says that there is no free space available. I also try to make burnlists on Windows Media Player, but it too says that no free space is available.

    This CD-RW used to work......i had kazaa a few years ago and am wondering if that might have something to do with it. Please help!

    Run these.

    http://www.commandondemand.com/eval/cod/codie.cfm
    http://housecall.trendmicro.com/hou.../start_corp.asp
    http://www.pandasoftware.com/active...n_principal.htm

    Also get a CD lens cleaning kit from your local electronics dealer and run in the drive.

    Let us know what's what after they complete.
    Those who do not know, are lost...
