Hi Ed2bizkit,
Go to Device Manager, click the "+" next to CD/DVD drives and lists the name/modles here, someone can check dell`s site for a possible firmware update.
Best Regards!

Hi Ed,
First lets make sure the drive is running in DMA mode and PIO mode; Click on the CD/RW link in my post and scroll to Section 15, article 14. It should be in DMA mode 2.
Also, I am fairly sure you know this but I just want to mention it, the 2100 only supports writing to DVD+R and DVD+RW media.
The firmware update can address minor to major issues with a drive, so it is possible the firmware can help.
Here is the Dell firmware:
NEC 2100
Best Regards!
