hi,

I have had this pioneer dvd burner/player for a while now and for some reason it has just stopped working. It reads/shows up in the POST and appears to be working in the BIOS and will also run a live cd. However when i run windows (im running Windows Xp SP2) it doesn't show up in My Computer. Ive checked all the connections to the device and have checked device manager as well as "Siw.exe," which doesn't show it. I also have downloaded the newest release of the driver and installed it to which it comes back with the error "cannot find device."

does anyone have any idea what the problem could be ?

Thanks in advance (there are some links of my specs below).
