Disappearing CDRW\DVD

S

SteveD61

Hope someone can help me with this problem. A new install of WindowsXP Pro
on a new build computer.
Specs:
MSI K7N2G-ILSR
AMD AthlonXP 2500+
Kingston HyperX PC2700 DDR Ram 512megs
Western Digital EIDE HDD 80gigs (master on IDE0)
Samsung CDRW\DVD SD352B (master on IDE1) (Installed WindowsXP Pro from this
drive)
PS2 Keyboard and Mouse
All newest drivers and patches.

When I boot into windows I can see the CDRW\DVD drive in Windows Explorer
and in System Devices, everything looks ok, but I am unable to read any
disks I put ito the drive. When I go to a dos prompt the drive is also not
found. When I boot up with a cd or dvd in the drive I am able to read the
cdrw fine in Windows Explorer and at a dos prompt until I reboot and forget
to leave a disk in the drive. This is starting to drive me a little batty if
anyone can help thanks in advance.
