Did you see if you're burned disk was recognized in someone else's drive? If so there's nothing wrong with it. I had a similar issue once, my OS was messed up so I wanted to reinstall it, but my computer wouldn't detect my disk drives till I booted into windows and used the find new hardware thing. Long story short, I reset my bios with a jumper on the motherboard and it worked fine. Most likely all it did was reset some option I had selected and didn't know how to change back, but it worked.
