Hello, I have a computer I built about 2 years ago maybe a little longer. I recently upgraded my DVDRW drive from IDE to Sata. Now more times then not when I insert a cd the drive begins to spin it and then shuts down. It takes me a while with trying to turn it back on before it does. Can anyone help me out with some advice to as why is may be doing this? Also when I hook the old IDE on back up it works properly

Is the new drive recognized in the BIOS?
Is the drive recognized in WinExpl?

the old IDE CD drive you had was it attached with a HDD set up as master and slave.
