My new optic drive (multi) shows up in my BIOS, but does not show in device manager, and is not found by "scan for hardware changes".
I have just replaced a faulty Pioneer DVR-216 with a Pioneer DVR-219L.
I also tried with all programs stopped, including anti-virus etc.
I'm running XP-Pro SP3 fully up to date.

By the way, the old DVD stopped recognising some DVDs, but other DVDs and CDs worked fine. This problem also showed when the drive was tested in another computer.
