    Go to the manufacturer's website to make sure you have the correct drivers. But I know that sometimes a DVD writer will have 'CD' in it's name within Device Manager (because they usually read/write CDs as well as DVDs).

    As for the errors, you need to rule out the possibility that the CD isn't scratched/cracked/bad.

    What do the error messages say?
