Acer CD-RW 8432IA issues with XP

I have the same problem, I had a Creative 52X CD Rom as slave and my TDK
12/10/32 CDRW as master on secondary channel. I started to notice when my
BIOS would detect the IDE drives the Creative CD Rom would come up with
crazy lettering like you are getting. So I thought the CD Rom was going, I
got a Acer 56X CD Rom, I put it in same configuration and my BIOS would see
it and everything worked fine. Yesterday I put in a TDK 32/10/40 CDRW, and
took out my 12X CDRW, when the BIOS went to detect the IDE drives, that
crazy detection came up for the Acer CD Rom, all other IDE drives were
detected by the BIOS except the Acer CD Rom. In Device manager only the TDK
32/10/40 drive was showing up under CD Roms, Also I got no icon for my Acer
CD Rom in explorer. So I put my 12X CDRW back in and the Bios and Windows
detected both the 12X CDRW and the Acer CD Rom. What I did then was put my
Creative Labs 52X CD Rom back in with the 32X CDRW and the BIOS and Windows
recognized both of them. Why this happens I do not know? How long before my
Creative CD Rom will not be detected in the BIOS I do not know? I have the
latest BIOS update for my MB a DFI AK74 EC. I do not know if its a BIOS
issue, or a Windows XP H.E. Issue? Any Help out there.
