Do you not get any notifications when the OS starts?

it normally says that its trying to install drivers etc.

if not go to device manager and remove the driver for the CD-RW and restart the PC - windows should then find the drive and install the right driver

Is it under another network drive? also in add new hardware in the control panel can anything be done there? Also try looking on the website of the manufacturer of the cd Writer they may have a driver or some software as it might not be plug and play compatible
If Computers always worked i would be out of a job. This is why i love to hate computers. :)
