I have that burner in a Vista Ultimate 64 bit system, and the burner works perfectly fine. However, it's not connected to an expansion board.
If other programs besides Anydvd do not recognize this drive, you are probably experiencing some sort of driver issue or bios issue.
One thing I can do is see if there are any conflicting drivers listed in your filter stack:
a) Download imgburn. It's a free program: click
http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
(it's also an excellent program imo)
b) Go to Tools > Filter Driver Load Order. Click "Clipboard". Then paste the information you pasted into your clipboard into your next post (ctrl-v).
Here's the info from imgburn:
