Exclamation Drive Won't Read Blank Discs

I have been using CloneDVD and AnyDVD for over a year now and I've never had any problem. Now whenever I'm trying to burn a dvd I get the message of "Insert Recordable Media". I've tried with both Fugifilm and Memorex. It won't read the blank discs. I have AnyDVD version 6.1.4.3 and CloneDVD version 2.9.0.3. I have updated my firmware and uninstalled the programs, restarted, installed them, and then restarted them and nothing works. I'm running Windows XP. Also, I downloaded Ccleaner and used it and restarted my computer and still nothing. And when I insert and regular movie in the drive it reads it fine. Just not blank ones. What can I do to fix this problem? Thanks for much for all your help.

1. Use Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden Premium, Maxell Plus, or Maxell Broadcast Quality (Generic Maxell media is not good, but Maxell Plus and Maxell Broadcast Quality are very good)

2. Do not use Memorex or Fuji

3. Use Anydvd 6.1.5.1 or later (if available).

4. Use Clonedvd 2.9.0.6 or later (if available)

5. Your burner might be dying; try it in another system

What do you want to read on a blank disc? There is no data for AnyDVD or Clone DVD to see......

westlr's trying to burn. The burner, for whatever reason, isn't recognizing that blank media is in the drive when it's about to burn. Reasons could be junk blank media or a dying burner . . .

What kind of drive is it and firmware version. Don't use Memorex or Fuji. Like Webslinger said, use Verbatim, TY, or Maxell BQ media.

I'm not at home right now but I know that the computer is an HP Pavilion Media Center a1330n Desktop PC. I'm thinking that the drive is an DVD-RW 16X HP DVD Writer 740b Drive because that's what it says on the HP page for the computer and I have not installed any other DVD drives. I got the firmware update from the HP site but it did not seem to help. The firmware version is HI24 released on 08/23/06. Also, the drive will burn cds no problem. It's just the DVDs that it won't burn. I haven't tried any other types of DVD discs yet but I will. The drive is only a year old, is it possible that it's dying even if it will burn cds? Thanks for all the help.

Yes, it is

I doubt this will help, but do step 3 and 4 from here
(step 4 requires you to post information). I may as well look at your filter information.
