I had this problem with my optorite dd045, it worked ok-ish for about 3 burns then stopped reading/writing to dvds. It still read/wrote to cd-r. I tried everything i could think of, no luck

i took it back to place of purchase and got another drive (didnt pick an optorite again

)
If u tried it on a another machine and upgraded firmware etc, thats got to be the drive is knackered

take it back for a replacement or RMA it if not less than a year old...sasarchiver

(If you already tried this, disregard)

I would power down the system, unhook all drives except the HDD, power up, go into bios, make sure the only IDE device(s) is your HDD(s)

Save Settings-> Exit Bios-> Start Windows

Shut Down

Reconnect Drive(s) power up, go into bios and see that you drives are all showing, if not autodetect them.

Save Settings-> Exit Bios -> Start Windows

Maybe that will work.
