samsung CD-R/RW sw 240B is missing from my computor

My computor doesn't show it in C:
Or in device manager.
Only My Samsung DVD-Rom SD-612 is present
Do I need to install A driver
The computer was given to me without any disks
I do remember once on boot up it sad it couldn't load
samsung CD-R/RW sw 240B

The computor sued to burn CD's fine till my friend crashed the computor
At the time the operating system was Windows millennium edition
But after the crash he had someone install windows XP Pro
And it hasn't burned CDs since

Someone help please

check to see if it is listed in the bios

I checked the bios and it has

Sony CD-RW CRx 14
Listed as the seconday IDE Slave

So I guess I was wrong on the name of the drive
The "type" was set to auto
since it's not loading I changed the type to CD-rom
I Still don't see it in C:

the secondary IDE master is listed as
Samsung DVD_rom SD6

Plug and play in bios is listed as being turned off
But it said something about my system taking care of that
maybe if I change that settin it will work

Any more sugjestions are welcome
Thanks
