I recently installed a Samsung CD-RW drive, which will not
be recognized at startup. The drive works perfectly, but
each time that I want to use it, I have to use the add
hardware wizard. At startup, the device doesn't appear
either on my computer, or in the device manager. This
really isn't a serious problem, but it's an amazing
annoyance, does anyone have any idea what's going on?
 
Hello,

This may solve your problem:
Check in your Bios, and make sure the Bios is configured to recognize and
enable the device. Check in the section of the BIOS that says Plug and Play
Bios (often in Boot Configuration ) and if this is set to On or Yes or
Enable, change it to Disable or Off or NO, which is the default. This may
seem counter-intutitive, but what you want to happen is for the BIOS to
recognize and configure the devices when using a Plug and Play operating
system like XP.

Let us know if this solves or does not soove the problem, so others on the
forum can learn .
