Recently my computer stopped being able to read blanks discs, so when I try to put something on a disc it says "insert a blank disc" while one has already been inserted??????

Sometime it can't read a disc because it could have been used or it a cheap disc. Check it out on other compuyer to see if it work.

Just because the disc is blank does not mean it will work. Many companies are having issues with the production of good blank discs. You might try four or five before you find one that meets the needs of the PC. You buy 100 of them, maybe 75 will work. Keep trying, you'll find one!
Also make sure its the right kind of disc. Media discs only take media not data. And data discs only take data. Music is different from Media, so watch which is which!
Good Luck!

Are you trying to put a data file on a CD?
My burners require that I use CD/RWs and they must be formatted with the software that powers the burner - before putting data files on them. They can be used like floppies on my computer, but cannot be read on another unless I download the "reader" from the software company.

Pay close attension to the type of disk you used before and is the new disk the exact same type? Also CD roms do go bad check to see if it will read a disk that already has something on it.
