Sony CDRW not recognized by software

I have a Sony CRX220E1 CDRW drive. I had no problems with it when I first installed it into my system. I burned discs with Nero, used DLA, etc. I reformatted my hard drive which I do regularly to keep things fresh. Now, Nero will not recognize the drive. Explorer acknoweldged it is a CDRW drive and the drive shows in my BIOS and device manager. I loaded Sony's CD software, B's recorder Gold5, and it also does not recognize the drive. It gives me a message: no drive connected. I have uninstalled the drive in device manager and had it redected by windows. No luck. Any suggestions would be great.

The only change when I reformatted was that the windows drive letter got changed to "F:". Here are the letters:

A: floppy
D: DVD-ROM
E: Sony CDRW
F: windows partition on HD 0
G: programs partition on HD 0
H: data drive on HD 1

Should that matter?
