Default Dvd drive not comming up in my computer

Hi all hope you had a gud xmas:))
Rite i got a new LG dvd ram drive for xmas to go with my nec dvd ram drive so i can dual copy discs.
Now when i boot up both dvd drives posts up as ide 1 and ide 2 but when i go into my computer the nec one is not showing.
This problem is not all the time, as i type now they are both in there and working fine but i bet if i reboot the nec will vanish again and so on.....but they always post in bios if it shows or not in my computer..
Now if i unplug the LG one the NEC one will show everytime..
I have checked cables, jumpers,firmware, even a new ide cable has been fitted but still it comes on when it feels like.
any ideas why this is doing it please?

O/S XP Pro sp2
Cheers Nic....

You have not said if you are using nero as your burning software so I am assuming you are, try this procedure and see if it works.

[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class
Key Name: {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Value Data: [Delete All Value Data from UpperFilters and LowerFilters]
Note: Do not delete the Key or the Multi-String Values. Delete only the data values.
Exit Registry and Reboot
