    To me it sounds like a hibernation issue with Windows. Does this ever happen after you restart or startup your computer from a powered-down state? I've personally never had much faith in Windows Hibernation as I've had repeated issues when powering up from a hibernated state. This is on multiple computers. If this issue only happens when you're hibernating, you'll probably have to quit doing that.

    sometimes it happens because of the loose connector of the optical drive. All optical drives are simply plugged into the slot, and are secured by a screw. It is the drawer type construction that makes problems. All vibrations kicks and bumps can make this connection loose and then it is badly connected. Mere temp differences will cause the device to disconnect making windows berserk. The worse - when it happens, windows usually set the transfer mode to PIO. Making the drive virtually useless for any advanced transfer. So I would check the device and make sure that it is firmly connected. Then I would check if the transfer mode is set to UDMA.

    Hope this helps,

    Ivan
