I've got a plextor 12x10x32, yesterday it developed a problem

I use Easycd Creator and Clonecd to copy onto blank disks, but the software/hardware does not recognise the blank cd, it says insert a new cd.

Well I've tried loads of cds now and different brands as well, but still the same problem.

The annoying thing is when I use Directcd to write to a cd-rw its fine, and the drive recognises normal cds.


This all happened when I was making backups of music cds, the software/hardware worked twice on blank cds then would'nt recognise anymore. The laser must be okay as it works fine with cd-rw's.

I am going to download updates and firmwares to see if that cures it, but has anyone else encountered this problem?
