Did it work OK before?

#1: check for loose power cable and IDE cable

#2: bad driver? Check the hardware profile (Start => Settings =>
Control Panel => Systems, click on Hardware tab anbd then click on
Device Manager button. Do you see a yellow mark next to the CDRW?

#3: software conflict maybe? Did you install something just before
the CDRW quit working?

#4: the drive's a lemon. Get it exchanged.
