I don't see any evidence for power management in DM.
I think it might be an intermittent connection on the firewire connection in laptop.
(the firewire connector is the smaller (4 pin?) laptop type.

Is Power Management turned on for that port/drive? Look in Device Manager.

I have the latest firmware installed for that DVD drive.

Anyone else seen this type of problem?
