XP and Yamaha CRW2200

I loaded WindowsXP on my machine and it will not detect my Yamaha CRW. If I only attached my CD-ROM XP will see it and it will work. As soon as I add on my Yamaha CRW, XP does't see any CD drives. I have tried using ONLY the Yamaha, but that doesn't work either.

I have tried using ONLY the Yamaha, but that doesn't work either. There are 2 controlers loaded with no indicator that there is a problem. Any help would be appriciated.
 
 
P.S. I think its odd that my BIOS sees my CD drives as primary and secondary hard drives. My CD-ROM will still work with the BIOS like this, but the Yamaha seems to mess everything up.
 
Thank in advance,

I am presuming that before you loaded XP you had a different OS loaded and your CRW2200 worked. It is difficult to read exactly. In any event, if your BIOS sees the drive, Windows should get the info from the BIOS.
If the BIOS sees the drive and XP doesn't, it may mean that you have to upgrade the firmware in the drive before XP sees it.
