DVD Writer stopped writing CD's

I have recently obtained a new pc with a DVD ROM & a DVD Writer installed.
I have been using Roxio Easy CD creator version 6 to copy some MP3's to a normal CD. Initially I did not seem to have a problem and made about 7 music discs, however now, when I try to write anything to a blank CD the drive is not recognising the blank CD media. I have tried a blank DVD in the drive, no problem, it will play and recognise recorded music and recorded DVD's, it just seems not to want to recognise blank CD's. I have also tried different blank CD's and the problem still exists.
If I go to My Computer and check the drive with a blank CD in it, the drive also does not recognise the blank CD disc.
I'm scratching my head a bit now and need some help please.

I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not sure!
