I run Windows XP Professional version 5 and it flatly refuses to recognise CD .s that are empty, making it difficult for me to back up data. Any suggestions?

Are you sure the drive is a recordable drive? The front of the drive should say "Re-Writable" somewhere on it - if you don't see that, it's probably not and you won't recognise any blank discs.
If it does have this, go with Verbatim discs, I've found these to be perfect.

I recommend flinging cd out the window. That usually works.
