IDE Device Failed

I have recently begun to have problems with my CXR700e (CDRW). I have updated my drivers and have run the Dell DIAGNOSTICS CD. I run a limited test of the drive and get the error very early in the test.
Error Message: "IDE device failed" "no audio output"
The problems are that it is quite buggy and seems to have problems with "disc-at-once" when running Nero. I still can burn but there are more problems. I have been searching for help on this error and can not find any solutions.
