Internal DVD-ROM Showing Up as being Removable

Hi there, was wondering if anyone could possibly help me out.

My internal DVD-ROM for some reason shows up as a removable device every time a CD/DVD disc is inserted.



I am able to read and write DVD's however is seems to have affected Nero for some reason because Nero no longer lists my DVD-Rom as a destination to write data and music on.

Is there a way to reset everything for the DVD-ROM such as reg entries and/or driver? Or is there a way to let Windows know that the drive is not removable.

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
DVD-ROM: Optiarc DVD RW AD-7260S ATA Device

I have attached a screenshot showing some more information: http://i45.tinypic.com/2gset1t.jpg
