Windows doesn't reconize CD -RW

I've installed a cd-rw in my computer. It is a TEAC CD-W516EC that was originally in another IBM computer. When I installed it on my comptuer W2K picked it up as a regular CD-ROM, not as a CD-RW. I can't find any type of a driver for this device. I booted into my linux partition and it picked it up fine so I know that it works and is a cd-rw. The write speeds are 4x, 8x, 12x, and 16x. The re-write speeds are 4x and 10x. <a href="http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/MIGR-41029.html?lang=en_US&page=brand&brand=IBM+NetVist a%7CNetVista+personal+computer%7C6350%7C36U&doctyp e=Hot+news&subtype=Cat&up=unknownuser" target="_blank"> Here</a> is the IBM webpage with info on the cd-rw. How can I get w2k to reconize this as a cd-rw?

what drive does it pick it up as?
does your burner software not detect the drive as a burner?

I couldn't find a CD-W516EC at their site, only a CD-W516EB
but anyway according to <a href="http://www.teac.com/DSPD/support/dt_ide_cdrw/ide_cdrw.htm" target="_blank">This</a> it will only be seen as a cd-rom by Windows.

W2k picks it up as a TEAC CD-W516EC. I've opened the computer and looked directly at the drive, and the model on it is CD-W516E. I'm using Adaptec Easy CD Creator ver. 4.02c S31. This program originally came with an Acer CD-RW that I no longer have, and it doesn't reconize the cd-rw. I know there are updates to the program, but to download them you have to register with a serial number, which I can't seem to locate considering I got the software in 2000 and have since moved twice.

Well I just ran the web-update applet in the program, but it won't connect to the internet to perform the update for some reason. I don't think my companies firewall would block it because I've used updates in other programs just fine.

Try downloading and running <a href="http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html" target="_blank">Belarc</a> (if you don't already have it)it may very well give you the S\N for Adaptec Easy CD Creator. Worth a try....

I found out where you can download updates on adaptec's site and that fixed it. Thanks Garak and Shamus for the help.
