Manually recorded CD-R not recognised

I just purchased an Inspiron 1525 running Vista™.  My manually recorded audio CD's are not being recognized.  The PBDS DVD+-RW DS-8W1P ATA Device is showing the tape as blank.  Commericial CD's & DVD's work fine.

This is what my system information shows under CD-ROM:

Drive    E:

My old Dell Inspiron 1000 had "yes" under Media loaded & Media type as "CD-ROM".

Is there a fix for this?  Or am I out of luck with my old audio CD's?
