ProblemEdit
The disc appears blank in Windows Explorer.
Cause - Bad Burning SoftwareEdit
This problem may be due to bad disc-burning software.
Solution: Try reinstalling or upgrading (or uninstalling) your disc burning software (i.e., Roxio, Nero, Inter Video).
Cause - Bad Optical Drive DriversEdit
It could also be the case that the optical disc drive itself has a bad configuration or drivers.
Solution: To reinstall your optical drive(s): Right-click on My Computer > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager > right-click on the device > uninstall
...then reinstall.
Solution: If the drivers are very problematic and affecting the use of other discs as well, it may be worthwhile to search Google or the maker's site for updated drivers.
