CDRW works ONLY in Safe Mode!

[Med]

Hi, I have XP professional on my PIII 933 computer , my
cdrom works fine , but when I added a CDRW it is detected
by BIOS but windows refuses to see it or load EXCEPT in
safe mode it works fine.the drive also works fine in
another computer with xp professional too.
How do I trouble shoot this problem?

Load DEvice Manager and check to see if it has detected your CDRW
correctly. If not remove all the drives and reboot and XP should
redetect it again.
