I had the 103 revision of that drive and had a similar problem, except in
reverse - mine would recognise DVDs successfully, but not CDs. I have also
come across another user in these newsgroups who had either the 104 or 105
and had similar problems. In her case I believe it was with DVD recognition,
the same as yourself.

In both cases this was due to a hardware fault with the drives..
 
Sounds like you might be attempting to use a dvd media that is not
recognized by your dvd burner. not every burner recognizes every brand of
media. the issue you describe is the same as i had when i tried to use
cheap media. try different brands of dvd media and see if you get the same
results. if you do, you may have a bad burner.

the problem turns out is that the drive cant read mead
faster then 2x drive work great at that speed meadia
