Adrian I thought I new a little about computers, but I'm stumped. I went into bios but could not see anything saying "Optical Drive Connection." Would you please elaborate?

Hello Mawaltaf, thanks for responding back.
I'm attaching some screenshots of my bios set up and also of my device manager to further assist you in the resolution of this issue. What I hope it will show are any errors, how the drive is connected to your motherboard. If you are capable provide us with images to review. I will bestanding by.

I cannot write anything to my DVD drive. It tells me the disk is write protected, or "the disk in drive D is not supported, the disk is not recognized by the drive, the disk might be damaged or installed. The disks that I have is "Sony DVD-RW. My device is TSST corp CDRW/DVD TSL462D ATA device

Ok, as I understand your issue you are attempting to read/write data to a CD/DVD
After reviewing you optical drive within your device manager I'm going to research your drive.
When you attempt to write onto a blank media disk are you using a 3rd party writer such as Nero? Or are you attempting to write to the media through Windows 7?

Nero

Ok, so you are using Nero, when you load a music disk/data does Windows 7 read the disk?

Yes sir

Ok, we are starting to narrow down the issue. Are you able to copy/burn data to your optical drive/media using the feature in Windows 7?
