    I'd start by re-installing the drivers for the optical drive.

    Yea Brian seems to be on the right track. I experienced something like that on my FRV27, though I can't remember the conditions of why the dvd-rw stopped working. Luckily I got the service plan from Best Buy and they took in the laptop and replaced the drive. I wouldn't assume your drive is fried, and keep that as a last resort.
