Default DVD drive won't read blank DVD-R

It usually works fine with IMGburn, But today, It won't read my DVD-R. I have tried multiple disks to no avail.

Everything is going wrong this week.

It reads ALL CD disks fine, and Official (Film) DVDs' but not my blank ones that usually work.

I have tried a few programs aswell, All of them can't read them.

How long have you had it? It sounds to me like the whole thing is screwed up, just buy a new one for about £30.
