The first thing I would do check whether the drive is defective or not by testing it in another computer.

After that you could focus on the software. Since DVD drives don't need drivers in Windows, I would recommend uninstalling any IDE drivers. Use Microsoft default drivers instead. Also, uninstall all of your burning software, especially InCD or software from Roxio.
