I have two CD drives. IDE 1:0 and IDE 1:1. IDE 1:1 works fine, but IDE 1:0 won't mount the filesystem. It reads just fine in raw mode. CD copying programs and like programs can read it just fine. But Windows Explorer doesn't read it.
 
Some things for you to look at.

316529 - CD-R Drive or CD-RW Drive Is Not Recognized As a Recordable Device.

311455 - You Cannot View the Files on a Disc After You Replace a CD-R or CD-RW Drive with a DVD or CD-ROM Drive

If you have three or more IDE devices on your system, including the CD-ROM drive, you may need to modify the Windows registry to support more than two IDE devices. Or they are not connected properly.

None of this helps. I should have mentioned that I tried uninstalling the Drive and the IDE channel in the device manager. It comes back the same.
