First thing to try is to uninstall them and let windows reload the drivers for them ,to do this ,right click on mycomputer/go to properties/hardware/device manager / now click on the + next to DVD/cdrom ,then right click and choose uninstall both that are listed ,and then reboot computer ,windows will find new hardware and reinstall drivers for each drive ,then try them and see what happens ,good luck

Oops, hello Jack you beat me to the punch. I was gonna suggest disconnecting the burner and see if the dvd rom starts working.
