I also baught a pack of 8x dvd+r ones but I still get the Medium Not Present. Please HELP, its very frustrating.

If you're sure the correct drive is selected in the box and that you're putting supported media in to it, keep an eye on exactly what the status bar says having just inserted the disc.

 

If is says 'in progress of becoming ready' and then changes to 'medium not present' again it means the drive can't initialise the disc or some 3rd party drive is messing up communications between it and ImgBurn.

 

If that's the case you'll need to look at clearing out your filter drivers and updating all of you software related to optical drives.
