i have 2 cd-rom drives, a dvd-rom, & a cdr/rw. until i installed sp1 e/t was fine. now that i upgraded to sp1 my cdr/rw does not read any disks.
here are some facts about the problem:
-it is my secondary master in BIOS.
-the drive is listed in "my computer".
-when i click on the icom (D: drive) a window opens and nothing is in it.
-it does not read ANY type of disk.
-the drive is listed in device manager and it says: this device is working normaly.
-it does however work in "safe mode".
-it is an NEC drive, model# NR-7800B.
i hope that covers it all. looking for some help.

Try removing one cd-rom,and replace it with your cd-rw drive, because there are too many IDE devices on your system.
If this doesnt work, unninstall sp1, because it may not support so many devices.
