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?

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!
