I'm not sure what you mean by "it refuses to read a blank disc". Can
you elaborate? IOW, please state something like
"When I do xyz, I expect pdq to happen, but what I see is foo."
You might include any error messages.
Be sure to include information about what a "blank disc" is. Is this
a R/W which you erased in some manner? A fresh recordable? Or what?
with similar results, Does Linux have a hardware issue with this drive,
the only other thought I have is my cd drive is a slave on the same
controller that my DVD drive is a master on and possibly switching them
may be the answer. Before I make the switch I would like to confirm
that the problem is not a Linux compatibility issue.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
