dvd drive is not recognizing dvd-rw

My dvd rw is not recognizing the blank dvd-rw disc when I try to burn media onto it. When I put in a dvd to play it recognizes the disc and plays the movie. I tried reinstalling,updating,rolling back the drivers and Windows XP says the dvd drive is working properly. Any suggestions? Thanks guys.

Re: dvd drive is not recognizing dvd-rw

What are the brand and model of the drive that won't read the disc?

Try some different discs. Been my experience that DVD+RW is better.

Re: dvd drive is not recognizing dvd-rw

Lots of drives are picky about RW media... Make sure you've got the latest firmware.

I have a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-104 model. I am trying to use TDK DVD-RW discs.

tehGrue is right ... Make sure your drive's firmware is up to date.
