I have Vista and a Pioneer A09 DVD Burner and it is currently stuck with the last CD I inserted (Office 10) so whether there is a disc in the drive or none at all or the drive is open, all it says in explorer is D: Office 10, thats it. also says permission denied. any ideas?

This is a drive interface error. Whether IDE or ATA type of interface, there is a buffer that holds the volume label and it appears to be unable to dump or flush the old info. A MOBO failure is indicated. To check this out, a cold boot should flush the buffer, if it remains the same label, the MOBO is suspect.
