My CD RW won't write to rewriteable discs anymore

It goes through the motions, indicates that it has
finished writing, pops the disc out as per usual

When I go back to the disc it is completely blank

It works fine when writing to ordinary writeable discs
and in all other aspects

Any Ideas??
 
You did not say what software you are using. But their is a option like
"test burn", in which it goes through the whole motion of burning, but it
don't burn. Uncheck that option.
 
If you are using Roxio then uninstall it and get Nero, I
had the same problem and I went on the Roxio forum and a
load of other users had the same problem ,I have used
Nero for a few months now with no problems and its got
more features and is easier to use.
 
Check the problem section here http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpcd.htm
CD-R/W media is, by nature, different than CD-R media . There is a
possibility that your laser is beginning to fail or the lens is dirty and
that is accounting for the problem. On the other hand I have had a CD burner
whose laser was failing that would, in the end, only write to CD-R/W and
would always crap out while burning CD-R. What is the make, model and age of
your burner?
