    On my x64 sytem with all recomended drivers, DVD drive (Mats-hita DVD-RAM UJ870A) randomly plugs and unplugs. On blank installation of x64 system everything was ok. So I`ve tried x32 OEM system with preinstalled Lenovo software and drivers and there everything looks fine until I wanted to burn something. So...

    x64 with drivers - randomly plugs and unplugs even during reading and burning

    x64 without any drivers - everything ok

    x32 with preinstalled drivers - cannot burn or erase any RW media.
