WinXp Home, Unhide My CD-ROM....

I removed my Kenwood 72x CD-ROM and had to ship it off to Kenwood for service work. I believe once I did that, the drive letter was still showing up in WinXP, and I think I removed it. Now I have the drive back, after making all of the necessary connections, my PC recognizes it in the boot-up, but will not pull up a drive letter for it once in Windows. My floppy is A:, my first partition is C:, second partition is D:, and the Kenwood was E:, and my Sony writer is F: . The E: drive which was the Kenwood, is still not showing up. I have even tried the find new hardware wizard and it came up empty handed. Can someone help locate where to turn this drive letter back on, or whatever else I need to do? Thanks.

 
Go into the device manager in your Control Panel (its under System). Under CD-Roms, right click the kenwood and enable it.
 
Thanks for the reply. The Kenwood isn't even showing up in Device Mgr. I've done the 'add new hardware' and the 'scan for hardware changes' under the CD-ROM option in device mgr. and still nothing. Any other ideas?
 
is the cdrom showing up in bios? if not, you probably have either 2 drives on master on the same cable or 2 drives on slave... make sure that you have one master and one slave if 2 drives are on the same cable
 
I appreciate the response. Those suggestions are where I start, so they are absolutely not the answer. I decided to go ahead and reformat and dual-boot my system with Win98SE. When I got my DSL back up, I cruised over to www.kenwoodtech.com and looked in the support section and saw a glaring notice that none of their drives support WinXP/2000. This sucked, I said. But I recalled it working when I first installed XP. Anyhoo, after re-installing, it worked in XP and 98 of course. Thanks for the help people, later.
