vista forgets dvd drive

I have 1 CD and 1 DVD drive on my system. The DVD drive is Iomega's SuperDVD. VISTA only "sees" the CD drive. VISTA does not "see" the DVD drive on its own. I can go to the Control Panel => System => Device Manager => CD/DVD Drives and look for "newly added devices". VISTA now "sees" the DVD drive and activates it. Everything is good until I reboot. VISTA "forgets" the DVD drive and I have to manually activate it again.
Does anybody have any suggestions on correcting VISTA "Alzheimer's"?

How is the DVD connected to the system? -- Michael Cecil http://home.comcast.net/~macecil/ http://home.comcast.net/~safehex/

The DVD drive is ATA connected; both the CD ROM drive and the DVD on the same line
