It reads normal disks fine but nor blank disks. Normally this is a problem with the drive. Thats why checking for a firmware update can sometimes fix it.

[Shane]

Since you didn't use any punctuation, let me try and break this apart so I know exactly what you are saying.

i play lets say rambo and it works fine

So the drive will read a normal, store bought DVD.

lets says i play copy disk with the a team on it it worked fine

So the drive will read "A Team" that is burned onto a blank disc.

but from make disk i try a blank 1 so i can try burn films

You are trying to burn a film onto a blank disc.

the same make disk but its blank dont load up when same make disk dat had a team on worked fine

You are using a blank disc that is the EXACT same kind as the one that "A Team" on it (it came from the same package) but your computer doesn't even see that there is a blank disc in the drive.

i no its not the disks cause thay work fine on my other dvd drive

If all of them (including the blank one that you couldn't read with the new drive) work with the old drive then there is something wrong with the drive.

Can you provide a link to the drive you are using and also what type of blank DVDs are you using?

It sounds like the drive. You need another drive or other discs to really check though. I'd recommend getting a new one.

I know it's frustrating but you've done fine so far. It just sounds like a bad drive. If you can't do anymore tests and the seller will take it back then just with that and let us know how the new one works out.
