    Think it's a liteon one (mine is a HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8163B).
    • Click its properties in Device Manager and check the Device Status for any errors.
    • Try removing it in Device Manager and rebooting PC.
    That's all I can think of right now.

    In device manager, check properties on your IDE controllers to ensure that none of your devices are running in PIO mode. They should all be using some form of UDMA.
