DVD Says 'Blank Disc' when there's nothing!

Pioneer DVD RW DVR-106D

I'm running XP and for the last week my DVD Drive says there is a blank disc when I double click on it even though there is no disc loaded.

When I do put discs it, they are recognised and function normally.

However, it has lost the ability to burn any CDs/DVDs like it did before.

Any ideas? Of course your help is much appreciated.

use a can of dustoff and blow out the inside of the drive, I don't reccomend any of the cleaner disks they can damage your drive
