some SATA burners have problems with the mobo SATA chipset. although if using a mobo w/intel chipset there aren't problems. i suspect your mobo has the VIA chipset. update the VIA drivers on your mobo.

It could also be that the burner SATA drive number has changed (like moving an IDE drive from Master to Slave or vice versa). Try uninstalling/reinstalling your burning software (or perform a bus scan if possible), this will allow the software to rescan the system bus and identify all of the attached burners.

And as Budz pointed out, it's always a good idea to update drivers.

And yes, that MB is a VIA chipset board.
