I have been having serious problems getting my Creative burner to recognise blank media. Creative have tried to help, but eventually gave up. They have given me 2 replacement burners thus far. I can read/write to my CDRW's, but the drive will not recognise CDR's. So far I have bought 4 different makes/types of blank media, those being:- TDK 700MB 1x-24x Certified Plus. IBM 700MB 1x-12x. Memorex 700MB 1x-12x. Imation 700MB 1x-16x. The TDK's are the only discs which I can burn to, and even that is sporadic. Sometimes they are recognised by the drive, and others not. I have tried everything possible on both the software and hardware sides to alleviate the problem. Does anyone know a good quality disc which will possibly work well with this burner so I am not throwing money away again trying to find something which will work consistently? I think the problem may lie with the blank media not having a high enough contrast ratio, usually visible by the colour of the write surface, i.e. the darker the surface, the higher the ratio. Any help would be appreciated.
