rewriter not working!

When windows Xp is running the tray wont open in the rewriter i have (fujitsu 8x4x32) and when it does it either records only half a disc or gets to 2% then stops.
NOW when i reboot i get a message at the bootup that says the following:
PRI MASTER: 3.39 ST340823A
Ultra DMA Mode-4, S.M.A.R.T Capable but disabled

Sec Master: sf03 SAMSUNG DVD- ROM SD-6125

Sec Slave Drive - ATAPI Incompatible

Press F1 to Resume

meaning that now it says that the rewriter ISNT compatible after using for various years!!?
(the ATAPI Incompatible being the FUJITSU 8x4x32 rewriter.)
Also now in the box, MY COMPUTER the cdrom now doesnt appear as if it doesnt exist.
Every now and then i manage to open the tray cos the system starts ok but only if the computer isnt used for a while.
Is there a way of downloding a software update for this hardware from internet (on windows XP) if i can get the cdrom to show in MY COMPUTER?
Cheers, skoundrel....
