    I have a problem that the optical drive does not show up in Computer (in Vista).
    I notice that whenever I first startup the laptop, mount an image file using POWERISO, and then go to COMPUTER, the 'real' optical drive is not there. The only option so far I have is to restart the computer.

    However, when I first startup the computer, then go to COMPUTER to monitor the change, then mount an image, two DVD drives are there.

    Any idea?
