Problem with CDRW NOT CDR

[spunge411]

i have an HP, PII, 192RAM.
i installed a TDK internal 40/12/48x drive. for 5 months everthing has been normal. now what is happening is the TDK drive READS and WRITES only to CDR's not CD-RW's. it says theres nothing in the drive to read.?

can anyone tell me a fix for this problem.

thanks

try a different make of disks (color of disk seems to determine)

updated your software?

thanks for your reply. i did try other disks. still the same issue. i updated the software and firmware. and still no resolve.

any other ideas?
