Default Can write onto a DVD but not read from DVD: "The device is not ready"

After having worked successfully for a couple of years with my current DVD drive (recorder)
there are now problems since a few days.

I can write (=burn) as usually onto a DVD.

But when I want to read the content of such a DVD nothing is listed.
The drive letter is shown as usual in WinExplorer.

When I click on it the DVD seems to be empty. Nothing is shown.

dir E:

in Command prompt shows permanently "The device is not ready" even after 30 minutes!

When I insert the same DVD in another computer (with WinXP) then the 4 files are shown without
problems.

So whats wrong?

Is it a driver a WinXP settings problem?

Again: Burning is possible
