RE: cd/dvd drive device driver missing at installation

The strangest thing: I did a perfect clean Windows XP home install from the
Plextor DVD PX-130A drive. After installation, when I insert the Vista DVD,
the drive is recognised (as cd-rom) but cannot read its content. In fact, it
does not recognise any disk. The other drive works fine....
Is there a compatibility or a bios issue?
