But for anyone else who is actually interested in troubleshooting and not jumping to conclusions, the problem is the drive isn't handling the full atapi command set properly. The drivers work around this to some extent, but is this really a problem, after all? The system isn't panicing or crashing, and burning a cd is a desktop application anyhow. You can get a different CD-RW burner (Goodwill sells them for $5 a drive nowadays) and find that some models work like this one, some work perfectly, and some don't work at all.
