i picked up a sony dru-710A dual layer burner and windows doesn't see it, it's not in my computer or in device manager. it shows up in the bios. i did restart one time in safe mode and it was detected. when i restarted in regular mode it wasn't. i had a cd rw drive before i got this one, it replaced the cd rw. when i put the old cd rw back in, it was detected just fine. i then removed the old one from the device manager, shut down the computer, put the new drive in, then it was detected in normal mode. nero was able to burn to it just fine. next time i rebooted it wasn't detected again. an interesting note, pressing the eject button on the dvd rw drive does nothing at all when it isn't being seen by windows, it does work right when i turn my computer on, during POST. i'm at a loss, i'm guessing my winxp is somehow screwed up which is why i posted in OSes not GenHardware. for the record, i can usually figure out all my own problems, but not with this one
this is winxp pro sp1.
TIA
