I don't honestly remember what it shows in the BIOS as it is just a casual project I have taken on in case the kids decide to crash their HD again. But I am assuming it is picked up as it is...

Did you solve your problem?

Have you tried removing all burning software except your favorite (Nero 7 Ultra works best for me) and making sure it's completely up to date? Also I would suggest downloading the newest driver for...

No, nothing there.

There might be some help for you here http://www.sanrad.com/supportkb/Default.asp?ToDo=view&questId=64&catId=52 Let me know if it helps at all

I'm currently experiencing a similar problem, so please keep me posted if you find a solution. Does it show in your "My Computer" window? Mine does not.

What kind of drive is it (brand, model, etc) and is it your only one? Has it always been doing that or just lately? What burn software are you running?

How long was it working before it quit? Was there anything going on when it quit? Can you offer any other details, right now what you have is pretty limited.

I have an old Fujitsu MPD3084AT 8.5Gb hd that I had planned on either putting in the kids computer as a slave, or loading Windows on and keeping as a backup in case they crash their 40 Gb WD again....
