You might also try burning CD-Rs at a slower speed (such as 24x like your CD-RWs) and see how that works. AFAIK, burning CD-Rs and CD-RWs use different lasers, so it's conceivable (though unlikely) that your CD-R burning laser died. Does the software *think* it's burning the disk but it comes out blank? Or does it actually burn the disk but it's unreadable? Or does it just spit the disk back out and say "I can't burn this!"?
