which IDE cable and which position do you have it on and how is it jumpered? I always put the CD in master position of Sec IDE and set jumpers to Master or Cable Select. If yours is correct, check in Device Mgr and see if the CD rom is listed. If it is, click on it, remove it and reboot the machine. It will be recognized again and should be seen in My Computer. If it's not listed, replace the cable.

Is the burner recognized and seen in My Computer? Have you installed or uninstalled any CD burning software recently?
