I am having a problem with my optical drive, it will stop working a little ways into installing programs when i install programs from a cd. The firmware and drivers are up to date, and it functions correctly on recognizing cds and burning dvds etc, but fails when i install applications from the cd. Also this is the second brand new drive I have tried and it has done the same thing.

The first drive was a LITEON DVD Burner that was connected with the IDE ribbon cable and the drive I am using now is a Samsung SH-S223Q DVD Burner connected SATA. I have an ASUS M3A32-MVP Deluxe Motherboard with an AMD Phenom 9950 chip.

Does anyone know what is going on?
