CD-RW drivers can not be found

I am trying to instal an BenQ 52x32x52 CD-RW driver but windows reports "New
Hardware Found" but then can not find a driver for it buy searching itself,
the Internet or Win XP CD. Now it also started doing the same thing for the
old CD-ROM drive which was performing normally.

First I connected on secondary channel as Slave and CD-ROM as Master. Then I
changed CD-RW as Master and CD-ROM as slave, both on the Secondary channel.

In Windows Explorer both are listed and I can read the files stored on CDs.

In Device Manager they are both listed as "... working OK". CD-ROM slave
location is shown as 1(1) but the location for CD-RW is shown as 0(0), same
as the HDD. I would expect it to be 0(1). Am I right?

What can I do to stop Windows finding a "New Hardware" everytime I switch
on, and is the "location" data correct, if not what can I do to change it?

Tatar, did you try installing the BenQ by itself as Master. Leave the
older CDrom drive off until you get the new one
working.
