Problem: Insert blank dvd-r and click on the drive properties and it says the disk is full. Pinnacle thinks the drive is empty and tells me to insert a blank dvd. Bottom line... I can't burn dvd anymore!

Debug: Burned two home movies to dvd-r (same lot of dvds) the day before. Worked great. I have a Toshiba SD-R5112 (Mad Dog 4X burner). I also have an NEC DV-5800A dvd player that came with my Dell desktop (running XP pro). I think this is a software issue because both of my drives no longer recognize the blank dvds. Inserting cd-r media works great... it recognizes the cd's as being empty and ready to burn to. Both drives still play DVD movies including ones I've burned.

Tried: reboot, reinstall of dvd decoder, removed Nero software
Going to try: remove hardware + reinstall, swap master with current slave, adjust registry (MSFT article 316529)

I'm not a computer genius so I don't know what else to do. Any help would be appreciated. I've been all over the web and seen others with this problem but have never found a solution. Thanks.
