Try this:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060/EN-US/

It mentions error messages that I did not receive when I had a similar
problem, but clearing the filters fixed it.

I've got nothing. Since it reads DVDs fine it sounds like software, but
it occurs for each side of your dual boot which makes it sound like a
