I bought a new DVD writer the LG GH-22 and it doesn't seem to detect blank DVD's.

I haven't tried other brands as I only have Imation with me right now.

The complete symptoms are:

It detects the DVD, but doesn't detect any free space on it. It says it has 0k available, so in effect I can't burn because it says insert disk with more space.

I just bought the drive and would hate to have it redundant.

Please advise if I can somehow get this drive working properly.

One more thing, it seems that normal CD's work fine. I haven't tried burning a CD though.

To further add:

It detects burned DVD's (i.e. reads the contents). Including Imation discs.

It detects and burns all types of CDR's.

I have a whole lot of ISO's I want to burn, so I need this to work. Please help??
