Same problem here. So those of us that have Sony dvd drives should just buy
new ones? I don't think so. If anybody esle has a solution please let me
know.

Well, there is no separate driver for it. It is
a standard IDE optical drive. If it doesn't
work, then maybe it's time to buy a replacement.

You need to check you hardware carefully,
especially the IDE cable and jumper settings.
You should not need any special drivers. This
is an ATAPI compliant IDE optical drive and the
driver for that is part of the operating system.
