Have you tried to see if it works with live CDs such as knoppix?  Its always
good to have one lying around (actually its good to have one in a safe place
so you can get your hands on it when you need it in a rush) as, although its
unlikely, your drive may have died since your machine had Mandrake on it.
This way you can rule out a dead drive.

My CD writer appears to have a very dodgy eject button.  The PC has windows
XP on it and sometimes it refuses to eject the CD.  I've used a paperclip so
often now that I've had to buy another box of them!  However under
knoppix/dynebolic/freeduc etc it works without fail!  I got round it by
always keeping a blank CD in there as its never failed to eject after
burning a cd with Nero.  I use the other CD drive for reading.
