Unable to write DVD-R(Blank DVD's)

I have a problem in dvd drive i.e. It can read CD/DVD and can write CD and all CD/DVD-RW but cannot write DVD DVD drive model is SH-S203B Samsung; I also have a log file created by nero burning rom 11.

Actually the fact is no Blank DVD's are being read in my dvd drive only previously written dvd's can be read! Is this the problem of OS or should I try cleaning the dvd drive or my DVD drive is 4yrs old so is it going to spoil now, since it is showing this type of symptoms!

DVD Drive = Samsung SH-S203B (Also tried latest firmware and downgrade versions also)

How old is the DVD Drive? Some could only do +R(W) or -R(W) (they are different) - Nero should be able to tell you the supported media types of the device. – PhonicUK – 2012-08-17T15:26:27.867

My DVD Drive is 4 yrs old and it supports dvd-r has previously I used to write same type of dvd's. Is this an issue of OS? – FrozenKing – 2012-08-18T07:00:24.230
