Default dvd drive running as cd rom

i took out my cd rom,replaced it with dvd writer,since then my original dvd rom seems to have taken the cd rom's place

it plays cd's,cd roms,but does nothing when i put a dvd in it

i have installed it properly ie master/slave etc

any ideas would be greatly appreciated

When you say it does nothing when you put a DVD in ...... do you mean autoplay doesn't kick in, or are you saying the drive cannot be accessed in My Computer ?
