click start and in the search bar type in device manager. Your drive should be listed under DVD/CD-ROM Drives. See if there is a yellow triangle with an "!" inside of it. If there is try updating your drivers

Ok- did that with my dad (tech man... Thank goodness!)
I do have a "!" and after a bit of digging, itturns out the driver:
MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-861H ATA Device
Is the problem.
Found a microsoft page on it ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060 ) and am going to follow the instructions and see how it goes. I'll tell if it worked or not :)
