For some weird reason, the computer is not recognizing the blank DVDs as blank.

I keep getting the prompt "This disc is not blank, please insert another".
Yeah, it drives me crazy too. I usually find if I reboot with the blank in it works, but lately even that's flaky. My solution will be to wipe the system and reinstall, as this isn't my only bizarre oddity. I haven't found any fix or hints in MS's knowledge base--all they say is get the correct media or install a supported app. It seems to be that the OS is failing to report disc status properly to apps, but that's a wild guess. Again, I'll just rebuild my system to get it nice and clean again soo.

IMO, they really wrecked CD creation tools with XP when they put the burning engine into the OS. Some people argue that it's the Roxio engine MS install that is the problem, but I just hate MS's methods. I mean Nero worked great up until...one day when I finally tried to burn a CD after several patches. Overall, I hate windows because of random crap like this, but it's the only OS the games run on...

Empathy doesn't help fix your problem much either does it?
