CD Burning problem

So i’ve been using Windows Media player to burn CD’s forever…never a problem…

Recently, it refuses to recognize blank discs. The prompt comes up saying “Please insert a blank disc, and when Windows Media Player recognizes the disc, it will automatically start burning.”

well i put in several different types of blanks, and it doesnt recognize any of them…

I tried using Real Player to burn, but the same thing…i put in a blank disc, and the part of the burning program that’s supposed to show remaining disc time stays blank…

any suggestions? i’m assuming since the problem is occuring in more than one burning program, that it’s my actual E drive, and not any of the programs…but the drive has no problem reading any other discs when i want to play music and/or DVD’s…

i suck at this shit, anybody know anything about computers on this forum? i would hope at least a few do…
