My computer sometimes recognizes my DVD drive and sometimes does not. When it does recognize it it works perfectly. I believe I read that Windows XP had trouble recognizing drives if there were more than six: I have eight. Any help would be appreciated!

I had a similar situation with an Exigo USB Flashcontinual. It says that no driving force is needed, domicile windows XP has a driving force for it already. as quickly as I plugged it in, domicile windows detected it and went by using each and all of the 'new hardware detected' technique, yet could no longer paintings out what it grow to be. I did this a extensive style of circumstances and at last it detected 'new USB device', then 'Exigo Flashcontinual'. i don't know why it took a extensive style of tries and did no longer paintings first time. in view that then, it has detected it quickly away each and every time I plug it in. i got here upon one element that helped as quickly as I first have been given it to paintings grow to be to unplug thecontinual and wait various minutes for domicile windows to paintings out that the USB socket has no device in it, then plug it decrease back in.

When windows fails to recognize your drive, does your BIOS still recognize it? Or does that fail too? You might have a faulty connection in that case.
If its window's fault, you might try re-installing, or updating the driver that you use for your drive.
Also, is it possible that you consolidate some of your other drives so as windows only has to recognize fewer?
