CD-RW drive not detected!

I installed new hdd with my CD-RW drive and everything was just fine.

Then I needed some data from another hdd and I connected it instead of my CD-RW drive to the sec.IDE channel.

After that I put CD-RW back and THEN it was not detected by bios or system.

Have tried to configure bios and ide settings without any luck. I've also tried to install CD-RW drive again - no luck.

I have one hdd as master on prim.ide and CD-RW drive as master on sec.ide. I have tried some other configurations too.

WHEN I connected my OLD CD-ROM instead of CD-RW everything worked just fine again!

CD-RW is Memorex 24MAXX 1040 and I have Win2000 Pro.

Got any ideas??

Thanks.

Try disconnecting the cd driver and going
to the hardware manager and removing
all the cd rom drivers. Restart the
computer, then shut it down properly.
Now connect the new CD-R and let the
system ask you for the driver. Use the
driver that came with your drive if you have
it.
