Hi, WalkerStylee:

Please work through these standard troubleshooting steps first. Then check the DMA settings for both drives.

I'm not sure what that SCSI CD-ROM is, but I believe it's a CD emulator associated with some program you have installed, possibly a DVD copying program.

The extra drive was from Daemon Tools Lite. uninstalled for the time being.

 

Tried the steps, no go.

 At the partition wall test i got a message "the disk is not a data disk such as a program installation disk. do you wanna try again?" i did the test on my other cd drive to see what should happen then repeated for the nonresponsive drive. same outcome. (yes, i had a program disk in the drive)

DMA is enabled. 

 

Maybe it's physical? maybe it's shot?  i wanted a DVD-burner anyway, maybe it's time

"Do you wanna try again?" It actually said that?

 

Yes, time to UPGRADE!! :D Try Newegg, in my signature. You need an IDE drive, not SATA.
