When I insert an installation disk, the computer will boot from it.

I have already the system installed.

When I insert (while using the already installed system) _any_ _good_ 
CD/DVD I get that it is a blank one.

I can for instance boot from installation DVD, but after the 
successful(!) installation I can not use the same DVD to view its 
content. The disk is reported to be blank.
