I need to know what motherboard you're using. I notice that if you have a motherboard that have onboard raid controller that can also be use as extra IDE channel for your IDE device, if you connect your IDE CDRW to the raid controller/IDE slot, winxp will only sees it as a SCSI cdrom. The solution for that is connect the CDRW to the regular IDE slot instead of the RAID/IDE slot. I hope this help.
