Right so when you put a blank CD in it stays saying 'medium not present' in the status bar yeah?

 

Keep an eye on that bar once you've put the disc in, it should say something else for a while before either being ready or not ready.

 

What happens if you put an original CD in the drive? (i.e. a music cd)

 

Blank DVDs still work fine yeah?

 

Do you have any other blank CDs you can try in it? a CD-RW maybe?

You could try cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc (or manually if you're feeling brave) but I've no idea if it'll do any good or not.

 

If the drive still works with CD Audio discs then it either just has a problem with the CD-R you've purchased or it's gone off CD-R altogether - in which case you'll need a new drive.
