acer plays cd and dvd but will not burn cd

[ydoifly]

my acer inspire with windows vista stopped burning cd's. it still plays cds and plays dvds but when i try to burn a disc it just says "insert a blank disc" i used about half of the discs in the package without a problem burning them and this just happened out of the blue. any suggestions? thanks

Try one or two more disks, if nothing, go into device manager and see if there isn't a trouble indicator for your CD/DVD drive, you can try updating drivers there, if still nothing, I'd suggest replacing the optical drive
