Buy a nice new drive, capable of burning the newest media, with prices these days I wouldn't try to revive an old drive anymore. If you are in such a hurry, look around for a nice shiny 20A3 or 20A4.

See http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...=Free+Shipping to find several new LiteOn burners starting at $23 with free shipping as well as other brand drives at very good prices.
