    Try a reinstall of the Teach drive. Go to the Device Manager, RIGHT click on the entry for the drive and then LEFT click "Uninstall" DO NOT uninstall the driver (the only drivers are the built in Windows drivers). Restart the PC and when Windows starts it will detect and reinstall the drive. If there were any Windows corruptions this will fix that.

    If that does not fix it, reinstall the Intel Motherboard Chipset drivers as the drive may not be detected properly (as a burner drive).

    As a side note, with only 4GB of RAM the 64 bit OS does nothing for you, as the prime reason for having 64 bit OS is that it will address more than 4GB of RAM. In fact the 64 bit OS uses more basic RAM than a 32 bit.

    If you only have one drive, Uninstall both of them then reboot. That may be the problem, with only one drive, that it got installed twice somehow.

    Stop. I missed what you had showing. The CD/DVD drive is not showing in the Device Manager, just your hard drives.

    As I previously noted, reinstall the Intel Motherboard chipset drivers, then restart the PC and see if the CD/DVD drive is recognized.

    Yes, uninstall the drive and then restart the PC and see if its properly detected.

    Hold off on the chipset drivers until you see if the Uninstall fixed the problem.

    Either the PC vendor or Intel will have the chipset drivers. If you go to www.intel.com and then drivers, Intel has a program that will scan your system and list what Intel drivers are available.

    Yes, RIGHT click on the ENTRY for the drive to highlight it and then LEFT click "Uninstall". DO NOT uninstall the Driver. Restart the PC and when Windows starts it should detect and reinstall the drive.

    If this does not fix it, then install the Intel motherboard chipset drivers as I suggested.
