Sounds like your DMA settings may have been changed. You need to ensure that you have DMA enabled for your burner. Try this link to start off with: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/IDE-DMA.mspx If that doesn't help, try uninstalling your IDE channel through Device Manager, reboot, then let windows detect/reinstall it.
