Second CDRW Drive Not Detected

[Farsbarg]

I am having a strange problem with Win XP. I recently bought a DVD
burner and installed it on the second IDE channel making it a master
and my old CD Writer as slave. BIOS detects the drive ok, but when I
boot into WinXP the OS can only see the new drive (the master). I
tried switching jumpers to make my old drive the master and my new
drive the slave. Now Windows only detects my old drive.
The odd thing is that both drives are detected when I boot into the
Windows XP Recovery Console. Also, I have a Knoppix linux disk which
when booted, recognises both CDRW and DVD drive.

What can I do to get Windows XP to recognize both my old and new
drives?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!.

I had this problem when I brought my external,turns out I didn't have the
drive checked in tweakiu.
Also if you can't see it with the right click "sent to" option it will only
show the one that is enabled for burning,Third party software will see all of
them.
I hope this helps.
