Sorry it took this long to respond. Did you get it fixed?

I found multiple listings for this issue and am including the url for my search for you to try for an answer. It seems like the bulk of problems indicate that the cd drive may be in PIO mode. Let us know how you are doing or what you do to fix the issue.

Are you sure that the drive does not work in W2K3, because i get the same error messages in windows xp but the drive works properly..
