DVDRW driver problems

My NEC ND-1300 DVDRW+/- drive has stopped recognising R or RW DVDs in the drive only CDRW are acknowledged. If I put a DVD RW or R in and then go to my computer the drive is no longer a DVDRW it shows CD Drive and the disk inside is not recognised at all but one of the DVD RW disk came up saying it was a DVD ROM. My drive has up to now recognised the disks and I have rewritten onto them before. I have tried using new blank RW and R DVDs but they are not recognised either ony CDs. I have the current Firmware and have uninstalled and installed the driver to no avail. I use Roxio and its software is up to date too. Has anyone got any ideas please.

How bizarre. I have the exact same problem with my DVD drive. I have a LG GSA-4082B and have had it for over a year. It gets a lot of use and in the last few days it isnt recognising any disc that I put in, blank or otherwise. WIERD!
