If a disc is blank, the computer is not supposed to read it anyway. If there are not problems playing media, then the answer is simply that normal behavior is being observed when inserting a blank disc.

This is probably going to sound, like, "well, duh", but please make certain you are using the right blanks. I do PC support and have been called more than once for this type of issue only to find out that the burner supports dvd-r and they were using dvd+r or vice versa. If that's not the case, then before I'd reformat and start over, I'd check the ribbon cable in the box. Sometimes they wiggle just loose enough to confuse the computer about the burning function. If that doesn't help, try moving the burner to a different connection on the ribbon. This could be a hardware issue, and not a software issue. Just in case, reboot the machine to safe mode then remove all of the record programs except one, the one you like the best. Then reboot again. You might also go to the burner website and see if they have an updated driver.

That's an operating system issue.
You don't mention what OS you are using, but if it's Windows you can change your settings in the control panel so that a blank disk is recognized.

Try to download Nero. Maybe It'll work.

It could be a corrupt Windows file. I've had that happen and had to wipe the hard drive and reinstall Windows to get it working again.
Could also be a bad drive...
