What brand of media are you using? Are they -R's?

I have exactly the same problem as lindstrom. I've tried a variety of media (the one in the drive right now is a Memorex DVD-R single sided ver. 2.0). The drive works fine with everything EXCEPT when a blank DVD is inserted to burn. It refuses to "see" the disk and asks that a disk be inserted in the drive.

@ GM3458,

I'll assume since you posted here, that you've also got a TDK 420N. The reason why I asked "Are they -R's" is because, that is the wrong format ... the TDK 420N is a +R(RW) burner. You need to get +R(RW) media.

Yes, mine is also a TDK 420N drive/burner. I just tried a blank Memorex DVD+RW single sided 4.7 GB disk as you instructed, but the drive still doesn't "see" it. All other functions work correctly. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several times to no avail. I went as far as deleting all references to the drive in the registry after uninstalling, thinking there may be some conflict there, but still no luck on re-installation. When using System Info (my OS is XP Pro) there are no conflicts with the burner and its properties in Device Manager indicate it is working properly.

I am running a Compaq 8SPXE2 with a 1.8 GHz Pentium 4 and 1MB physical memory with the TDK burner plus an HP CD Writer 9100b. In addition I have two Maxtor 6Y120P0 hard drives.

Do you have any other suggestions?
