CD-ROM/DVD-ROM problem…

by ranjit.a.philip . Updated 23 years, 6 months ago

I have a workstation on which I installed Windows XP using the CD-ROM drive. After a sucessful installation, I connected another hard-drive (Western Digital) in slave mode. This hard drive (NTFS File system) already had data from it that I wanted tocopy to the master drive. On booting the machine up it picked up the new hard drive via Plug-n-Play but the OS does not see the CD-ROM drive anymore. I uninstalled the generic CD-ROM drive and inserted a Toshiba DVD-ROM drive which does not require any special drivers and should be automatically picked up by Windows XP. On boot up it still sees both the hard drives but does not see the CD-ROM drive (slave mode). WHat can I do?
