With the information you provided, it is very hard to know precisely what the problem is. However, it sounds like you have an incompatible format with your CDs/DVDs. Remember, there are different formats of DVDs and CDs, some have the + symbol and some have the - symbol. Some readers/writers are not compatible with all formats of CD/DVD media.
