I'm not sure if I'm stating this correctly so bare with me. I put a blank cd/dvd
into the slot and I see it reading it but then it opens up and says there's no cd/dvd
please insert one. This also happens when I try to burn a disc with photos. I don't
know what I'm doing wrong.

The most likely explanation is that the drive has failed - they are not very reliable.
However, look to see what Windows has to say:
Open Control Panel
Click on System
Click on the Hardware Tab
Click on the Device Manager button
Click on the + next to DVD/CD-ROM drives
Let us know if there's a yellow question mark next to your DVD drive
Click on your DVD drive
Post back with what is written in the box marked Device status

Did it all no yellow and it says device working properly. It even asked if I wanted
to see if there were any driver updates. I click yes, it came back drivers are fine.

If you were using it before and it was OK, then I'm afraid the drive has died :-(

Is the disk the right way up? Usually the label is facing up.

had same problem with a new PC I just got. I did a complete restore & fixed it. How
ever I think the problem all a long with I was not shutting the "tray" hard enough.
Try closing it with a little force but don't beat it to death. LOL
