Did you do this?

Ok... I have a philips cd burner. I recently upgraded and bought a new computer. I pulled the cd burner out of my old one, it worked fine in there with windows xp drivers. When I installed it in my new one, it works fine as a cd rom, but not as a cd rw. It has ALWAYS been a cdrw, and has never had a problem.

I have tried reinstalling drivers sevaral times, removing from the system, even flashing the cd burner itself. All of these I have tried, and still no success. As I said, I am computer savvy.

I have heard that Serial ATA drives cause confilcts with cd burners for some reason. I have checked jumpers (cd burner is slave, dvd rom is master. tried swapping positions, no luck.) I have checked connections, power, etc.

CD burner is still not working. Works fine in my mom's computer. Which is just a regular ide hard drive.
