Did you try changing the cable? maybe the cable is faulty. The similar thing happened to me. Ma floppy drive always said "please enter a disk" (kinda similar) I bought a new floppy drive but the problem still persisted, then when I completly overhauled ma rig but the problem still persisted. It was the faulty cable.

its not fault with cables, as the other cdRW drive works perfectly with the same cable, even interchanged their cables....
