You're having a hard time with this drive. I would try another drive if you can. Even an older drive should tell you if you have a defective one there.

A number of burners require to be made the Master device on an 80 strand (Ultra DMA) E-IDE cable, and must be the sole device on that cable, otherwise they won't function as fully as intended.

The only other thing you can try is upgrade the drives firmware if there's an available flash update for it - otherwise mothball it til' W7 SP1 arrives, in the hope Microsoft may have been kind enough to fix the issue - should it be within their remit...
