Alright, well firstly under WinXP go to Start>Right click on My Computer> Manage> Under Storage to your left click Disk Management and tell me if all 4 show up under that.
Hello,
After boot up, the CD Rom is NOT showing up in Disk Management until I do "Scan for Hardware Changes" in Device Manager; then it shows up and also in My Computer.
PS. Its great you are taking the time to help - Thanks.

Then for some reason it's not being detected on Startup. Check your bios and make sure it's not set to auto, but your drives are selected.
Didn't find the answer you are looking for?
Ask a question
Hi,
Yes the drives are all set to Auto in the BIOS, that is how they have been since day one. They were All seen in My Computer just fine up to when the new hard drive was installed. Now all three drives are seen except for the CD Drive. Is it possible that there is a timing issue with the drive and windows? The new drive is faster than the old one.

PRI IDE Chnl: 320GB hard drive as Master (OS's Apps, etc)
PRI IDE Chnl: CD Rom drive as Slave.
Sec IDE Chnl: DVD Drive as Master,
Sec IDE Chnl: Second hard drive as Slave. (Data, Gen storage).
As indicated in my post, all my drives were seen on My Computer before the new hard drive was installed, and no hardware changes were made. What is bafling is that Win 98 sees them just fine, so it can't be hardware related???
