My dvd burner won't correctly read or write RW cds or dvds, but normal or burnt cd/dvds are oka

In Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 Basic, a disc will usually read as "Medium Error" and "Cannot read TOC" after attempting to burn something, but formatting the disc seems to work. CD-rw's will usually burn completely, but give me an error at the end telling me I should run Scandisk. (Running Scandisk will crash explorer or lockup the system.) DVD-rw's won't get past 3% before generating a "medium error." (Same with dvd-r's.) I know it isn't a medium error, at least not with the cd-rw's, because I formatted and burned files onto them on another computer with the same Roxio software, but when trying to read them on this laptop, Roxio labels it a medium error, and Windows declares it a corrupt or incompatible format. The cd runs fine on other computers. Also, store-bought (non-burnt) cds read fine on the laptop, as do cd-r's. Recently discovered Starforce drivers installed but I removed them. Does this seem like a copy-protection problem? Hardware? Or does the lens need to be cleaned?Thanks!

The format of the medium is not supported.

It is trying to tell you that the language that the CD bears are foreign to your OS.

Search for the correct region code to read your CDs.
