DVD Drive not recognizing

Oct 9, 2004 8:45AM PDT

Hi Folks.

I bought a Sony DVD(burner) drive and I hook up to my workstation. Some times my XP pro recognizing the drive and most of the times it is not recognzing. I can't see the drive in File explorer. When I go to the Safe mode I was able to see. Right now it is not working and I was frustrated why it is not recognizing.

Pls help me out with this.

Thanks
