IDE DVD listed as SCSI?

[Rob]

I have a Lite-on DVD Burner and a DVD player. Under "Device Manager"
the are listed as SCSI cdroms. (ie. LITE_ON DVDRW LDW 451-S SCSI CdRom
Device) The burner is master and the player is slave. Windows Explorer
is showing the player as "D" and the Burner as "E". Also "Device
Manager shows the burner being on " bus 1 target 0 lun 0. Windows
Explorer shows it as being on 0,0,0
They are both on my secondary IDE. My hard drive is by itself on the
Primary.
Any help or suggestions please, This had got me stumped.

Lite-on's site says that the model LDW 451S is in fact an E-IDE drive.
And I'm guessing you know what you're doing and you jumpered it
correctly.

The question here is: in Device Manager are you seeing your DVD as a
sub entry under SCSI or is it simply listed as a subentry under
"DVD/CD-ROM Devices?" Because if the label you describe above is just
the way the drive is listed under the DVD device section then that's
just the name that Lite_on gave to the drive and thus the name that
the drive is reporting to the WinXP. It has nothing to do with it
being an actual SCSI device. I've actually seen this before, but not
thought too much about it. [And I've also see a SCSI entry in device
manager on a system that I know does not have any SCSI interface, go
figure.]

Now if your drive is actually listed under the SCSI heading then you
have a problem. You should delete the entry in device manager and
reboot to see if the system will recognize it correctly.

This is usual: IDE devices that need additional drivers (in this case
for CD/DVD file systems, get lumped together under the general head of
SCSI. Provided everything is working just leave it
