Have you got this working? If not, I'm not sure if this will help but
did you try messing with the bios settings for the drive. I don't know
if the kernel even notices these but maybe you could try something like
setting PIO to 2 and disable DMA in the bios. Is there evidence that
your model burner writes and rips successfully in linux? Have you tried
a different ide cable? maybe a different kernel version if you have one
installed...
