Hi
Not claiming to be able to solve the problem but.....
First things to check -
How did you connect your writer? Is it on the same band as another drive? Is it set right as slave or master? How do you see the drive in windows, under my computer? i.e. what does it say next to the drive? You can check in BIOS to see exactly how the system sees it. That could be a good indication.
If everything is set properly and you still having the problem, try updating your ASPI configuration -
