Its probably a drive failure because I connected it using the 80 pin cable as suggested by some of you in the thread. I didn't see any difference in the cable I purchased and I had previously :(

Still CD-R and DVD+-R do read, but CD-RW and DVD+-RW won't.

I think I'll get a new drive. Any more suggestions before I purchase a drive ?

Maybe try an older kernel, maybe there is some nasty regression that prevents things from working. If nothing works then it's time to get a new drive (or test with a borrowed drive).
