Did you reinstall all or most of the Win Updates especially SP1? Check here

The problem is most likely your drive's firmware might
need updating, windows is probably stuck in a loop
searching for data on the disc and just keeps looking,
thus it hangs. My new dvd burner had a similar problem
until i flashed the firmware (CAUTION). Also do you have
incd installed, cause if the cd was formatted with incd
you will need that to read the cd contents
