But to the problem, have you tried more different disks? Does the disk appears in Device Notifier?

Popped in an empty DVD-R disk and "Device Notifier" indicated that it found it. Then fired up k3b. It also showed the empty disk in the burner. So, my question, does "Device Notifier" recognize the existence of the disk on your system?
