CD-RW Question

[LiquidVivi]

Sorry if this is the wrong forum but I was wondering if anyone had a solution for fixing a norcent 48x cd burner. It was purchased black friday from best buy for something like 10 dollars AR but it always comes up as drive is empty when trying to burn a cd. Running winxp with a p4 1.8, 768 pc2700..... any ideas or fixes would be greatly appreciated... Thanks in advance
