IDE DVD drive not showing in Vista
I recently installed on my new computer an IDE DVD Writer that was working fine on my other computer which was running XP. My new computer is a Dell Dimension E521 with Vista 32bit.
I can see the drive in System Setup and the port is turned on. When the computer fully comes up I don't see the DVD drive in explorer or in system hardware.
Any idea on how to get this drive to show up would be greatly appreciated?
thanks,
