My first thought is a faulty drive. I might try cleaning it, at least blow
out the dust. Also might try flashing the firmware upgrade 2.1A. Another
trick might be to uninstall the drive as well as the secondary IDE
controller in Device Manager and let windows reinstall them. If none of
those things work, personally I wouldn't spend a lot of time on it because
DVD writers are fairly cheap now, so I'd probably get a new one.
