DVD-ROM recognises disc but says it is blank

Hi all!

I have a Mashita DVD-ROM S858SF drive on a computer running Suse Linux 10.1 Desktop. i installed it using the following drive. When I insert a CD or DVD, it recognises there is a disk in the drive but it doesn't display the label. It just says CD-ROM Disc or DVD-ROM Disc and it says it is blank. When I click on properties it says it has nothing on it, even though it does. The drive works on Windows XP.

Plz reply if u can help

Thanx in advance
