I have a Optorite DCD Writer attached to a SATA connector
on my ABIT IS-7E with a ABIT Serillel2 converter. The
BIOS correctly recognises the drive, but Windows XP
doesn't wish to know. I have tried adding hardware, but
XP doesn't seem to be able to find the drive. Does
anyone know what my problem is?

The SATA hard disk on the other SATA socket works fine.

Right click on My Computer and select Manage... on the following screen,
click on Disk Management.... does it appear on the right hand side? Does it
have a drive letter...? If not, can you assign one from Disk Management?

Do you have DVD burning software installed on the PC?

Do you use TweakUI for XP and have accidentally 'hidden' the drive?
