DVD Burner seen as DVD-ROM drive only in Vista64

Help please, I've just upgraded to Vista home premium 64 and my Sony DW-Q28A DVD-RW drive is not seen as a burner for CDs or DVDs. So if I right click on it with a re-writable disk in I do not get an 'erase' option, when I right click on a file there's no 'send to>CD' option and in media player when I click onto the burn tab, it tells me to connect a burner and restart!

This drive worked just fine in XP, then I upraded my motherboard to an ASUS P5E3 and installed vista and now it doesn't! I seem to have everything setup ok in the bios, I've tried re-plugging the ide & power cables and the drive name is read as Sony DVD-RW but it won't function at all as a writer.

any ideas?
