How can I test if a CD-R is blank or not?

How can I test if a CD-R is blank or not? I have various burn programs but one of them is playing up and I want to eliminate media as a cause of the problem. The problem is that I am not sure whether it is partially writing a CD-R in such a way that there is no data observable by Windows XP explorer and so I want to check if the media is pristine.Start Free Trial
