It look like I just having similar problem on my DVD/CD RW drive,
for reading on both CDs and DVDs it OK.
For writing data into CDs it OK.
But when ever I put the blank DVDs either DVD-R or DVD+R/RW, it seem to me
that the drive can't see the disk. it shown 0 byte on Free space and total
size.
and I can't drop or paste any file even create new folder into it.
If I try to burn DVDs with other software as ACDSee then posible...
But it not namal and need help.
