i have the same problem although with a different cd writer. I just bought a plextor cd-rw drive, fitted it perfectly, it was detected in dos and shows up in device manager and disk management. The funny thing is it doesnt show up in windows explorer. All my other drives show up fine. I can explore the cd-rw drive by using the run command within the start menu. I searched microsoft support for possible solutions, http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q298207& The above page suggests changing the drive letter using disk manager, i did this but no change, i am on a network but i havent (knowingly) mapped any drives over the network. Im going to try contacting microsoft support over the phone.
