    Firmware isn't usually a problem RE Cds. Have you tried cleaning the laser? Also, try uninstalling your Secondary IDE controller in device manager and rebooting.. let windows reinstall it.

    See if that helps.

    How long have you had this drive btw?

    Ah, no worries, you have Nvidia SATA controllers, not IDE.

    Have you checked all the internal connections are alright?

    You have two SCSI burners? They may be shot, but I can't tell you how to tell. I thought SCSI went out ages ago.
