The properties tab reports this info for the drive:
Name: HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GT60N
Type: Unknown (application/octet-stream)
*******This might make a good read and help someone else out, I ended up swapping my drives out then everything worked as it should, the drives I took out went into other machines and worked fine there. I can only surmise that an update made this mess.
This happened on two Laptops about the same time.***********
