This page may be useful to you. If not, is the drive in question a CD/RW? And if so does it have EZCD Creator on it? Back when I had a compaq I had this exact problem and found that older versions of the Roxio EZCD Creator would lock up the drive. The only way I found to fix it was to remove the Roxio program and install Nero.
