Windows not playing nice with CD Burner

[dolphinius_rex]

now, I don't wanna hear any LiteON jokes over this, ok?

Basically, I'm hooking up 3 CD burners and 2 HDDs in the same computer. One HDD is SATA, and on a seperate controller (PCI Card). The other HDD is the primary master on the motherboard (MSI mobo). The 3 CD Burners are primary slave, secondary master, and secondary slave (no Politically correct crap either ).

As you've probably guessed, it's the Primary Slave drive (LiteON 48125W) that is not existing in windows. The bios recognizes it fine though, and I can even boot off of it I think, and it works fine EVERYWHERE else. I tried re-installing ASPI 4.6 but that didn't help.

Any ideas? I really wanna get my system going with the 3 burners. if all else fails I can always remove one of them... but it would be *PERFECT* if I can get those three on that one machine.

Thanks!

well ive got pioneer 106s (16x dvd-rom) secondary master, pioneer dvr-107d secondary slave, Plextor premium primary slave, 40gb primary master, 160gb primary master on onboard RAID

other then that i would check burner in another computer or reflash it

Lite-On sucks, get a Plextor

Sorry, never would have said it if you wouldn't have said that first line...

It's ok Aviationwiz, I was pretty much baiting you on that one to begin with

Anyways, problem resolved. I feel like a newbie for letting this one get by me...

In the hardware manager, under the IDE device controller settings... I had it set to "none" for the primary slave, instead of Auto Detect. Once I switched it back, it worked fine. I have no idea why it was set that way to begin with, but at least it works now.

Thanks anyways guys!
