I have a system that I built which contains one DVD R/W and one DVD ROM. I set them up so that the R/W is on IDE #1 and is master (no other drives on IDE #1. The DVD Rom is sharing IDE # 2 as master with an 80 G Hard Drive as slave.
My boot drive is SATA. Everything seems to work well except the system loses the DVD ROM from the Device Manager usually after I have used either of the DVD drives. It locks up the DVD ROM, but not the system. The drive light stays on and I have to re-boot to open the drive and remove the disc. Once I re-boot the drive is again recongonized in the Device Manager. Any ideas??
