Greetings! I just recently got a Samsung DVD Recorder (actually, it's Toshiba drive... go figure). Since I don't have any blank DVDs, I tried blank CDs (TDK 8x and Samsung 52x) to test out the drive. The drive has trouble recognizing that there's a blank CD in the "cup holder" and flashes the panel light. If I re-insert the CD two or three times, the drive behaves normally and I can record the CD without problems. It also hangs up on manufactured CDs, but plays nice with DVDs. I tried this drive on my Windows XP system, and it has the same problems. Is this normal for DVD recorders? Or does my new drive hate CDs? Thanks! Christopher Reimer
