cdrw problem

[gailee]

New hard drive installed w/ winxp sp2.

I have TDK CDRW241040B w/ updated firmware. It is installed alone (as TDK advises) on the 2nd IDE. it will play an audio cd but will not see a data disk nor, obviously, copy to it. The same issue as when it is a slave on 1st IDE or slave on 2 IDE. A hard drive will run on the 2nd IDE. I have tried several connector cables.

When i set it up w/ my USB enclosure, EVERYTHING works!! i can play audio, read data disks, install prog, copy and erase.

i have done all the troubleshooting in the world (MS site articles, registry changes, troubleshooting sites like these).

i had the same problem before i installed the new HDD

Same problem here don't know how to fix it just work around it.
Goto My Computer, right click on your cd drive, then click Properties, then find the hardware tab, then find your cd drive on the list and click properties, then find the volumes tab, then click populate.
REALLY ANNOYING, I know, but it works.
