I In Linux I have tried everything and CD ROM does not recognize
blank media in either OS
Any help appreciated

this one more shot.
1. It does not recognize that there is a blank CD inserted
2. It will play both a music CD as well as a data (computer based
learning CD)
In desperation I went to live chat on HP support and was fortunate
enough to get someone who understood English and was not
outsourced to India. What follows good bad or indifferent is what
he outlined I do and what I did (It still does not recognize
blank media. This exchange I am about to relate obviously will
only be understood by the really experienced user. I suredo not
understand what I did.* I do know it helped absolutely nothing*
*I cannot afford a new PC, but would it help to purchase an
external device as I do insist on being able to burn live CD or
my fun in Linux will come to an end.*
I reset BIOS, reinstall cd/dvd drivers for checking the issue. All
that was really done here was the assurance that yes was
highlighted to assure I was back to my default BIOS settings.

Okay, seriously then, this is a cd-rw or dvd-rw, right.

If it is a combo cd/dvd burner, have you tried both cd-r and dvd-r
media?

I have one system here that never gives the message that I have
inserted blank media, but if I right-click on an .iso file, it has
¨burn image¨ as an option and works. To burn an audio or data cd, I
have to start with Brassero (using Xubuntu) and it will then recognize
it is blank media. The CD Creator window never exists on that system.

I also had this with a cd/dvd combo burner that lost the burner side.
It plays great, but quit burning about 2 years ago.

Good luck,
