VISTA "forgets" DVD Drive

[Guest]

I have 1 CD and 1 DVD drive on my system. The DVD drive is Iomega's
SuperDVD. VISTA only "sees" the CD drive. VISTA does not "see" the DVD drive
on its own. I can go to the Control Panel => System => Device Manager =>
CD/DVD Drives and look for "newly added devices". VISTA now "sees" the DVD
drive and activates it. Everything is good until I reboot. VISTA "forgets"
the DVD drive and I have to manually activate it again.

Does anybody have any suggestions on correcting VISTA "Alzheimer's"?
