Just perform this
1) Close all open programs
2) Click on Start, Run, and type REGEDIT and press Enter
3) Click on the plus signs (+) next to the following folders
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
* SYSTEM
* CurrentControlSet
* Control
* Class
* {4D36E965-E325-11CE-
BFC1-08002BE10318}
If not reseat the drive once and check- that should work,
Or if you have a known good drive, swap the drive with this unit and check.
If the new Drive works fine, the opticle drive of this unit must be gone bad.
