Whenever I restart Windows, my Pioneer BD player seems to disappear. It doesn't get listed in My Computer, and it won't work in PowerDVD. The drive always gets listed on the POST screen during the reboot, so I don't know why Windows and PowerDVD won't pick it up.

This drive always functions normally from a cold-boot. I also have an LG DVD burner in the 2nd bay that never quits, even after a warm boot. Motherboard's fault, Pioneer's fault, or Windows' fault?
