Have you tried uninstalling the dvd drive itself and rebooting? Also, have you tried deleting the second IDE controller? Or have you done that? Also, check the IDe connections are all OK inside your case.

If so, you can see this

Or try this little trick..
Originally posted by MS:
To manually delete the UpperFilters and LowerFilters registry values, follow these steps:
1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2. Locate the UpperFilters value under the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
3. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
4. Locate the LowerFilters value under the same key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
5. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
6. Quit Registry Editor.
NOTE: After you remove the Upperfilters value and the Lowerfilters value, if you notice lost functionality in a particular program, such as CD recording software, you may need to reinstall that software. If the problem recurs, consult with the software vendor for assistance.
7. Restart your computer.
Hope that helps.

I would like to jump in on this discussion as I also am in the market for a new burner. What does anyone think of the LG Electronics GSA-H10L 16x Internal Super Multi DVD / CD Rewriter? How does it compare?
