Hi metalblade87!

Hmm I have run into this in the past with older DVD drives and XP/Vista. Sounds like the drive has simply gone bad. New DVD-RW drives are very inexpensive. I'm sure they got some at your local computer store or you can puchase online. If you think the DVD drive is under warrenty feel free to call the maker and ask them about it. Hope this info helps!
