Cannot burn CDs or recognize blank ones

 

[$hawn]

Every1 has to face this at some point of time...95% chances your drive is dead, go buy a new one for $20 or less, and then marvel at the rate at which technology advances

PS:- The remaining 5%, you probably wanna check if the power or data cable has come off loose somehow

That's all i can suggest with the extremely limited info which you have provided
