    Try different USB cables...yours may be bad. Also try different ports.

    ok.... external DVD burners sometimes have problems with their cables and also hooking up to the computer (Ports)! if you have more than one free USB port available try switching to a different one. Also, if you are using a firewire that could be the culprit! My external BenQ 1655 did not like it's firewire hook up.... but it runs perfectly with it's USB hook up! go figure!
