Go to Start, My Computer, and right click on the CD drive letter. Scroll to properties and if it shows the disk is full (the circle will be filled with blue) then throw out the CD as even if it is truly blank if you have tried writing on it then many times the CD is no good and you have to start with a fresh CD. I have had many CDs show as full of data when there wasn't actually anything on them. That's just the way it works sometimes.
