Hi Margie

Could you tell me what kind of interface card your PD drive (the CDROM/PD
optical disk drive) is connected to? Look, for example, for a section in
Device Manager called "SCSI Controllers". If there is an entry there, you
may only need to reinstall (or update) your Adaptec SCSI card software
drivers.

Your CDROM is not Adaptec. This is the device that is controlling the
CDROM. It would help if we knew what model of Adaptec SCSI controller
you have.

I have three of these PD drives in my own computers. I had a similar
problem to yours (disappearing CDROM) happen once and I got it working
again simply by reinstalling the Adaptec drivers. (It is a SCSI PD drive,
right? There are also IDE PD models.)

Do not worry at all about "irq holder for pci steering". This is not a
problem. It is Window's way of saying that it changed the IRQs around
in order to get everything to work together.

I'm confused as to whether the Ensonic uses IRQ 10 and 11 or just one of
these. I would try and change the the IRQ used by the Ensonic to 5 and
something else if it needs another IRQ.

Is it possible that the PD drive is plugged into the Vivo sound card?
(Some Ensonic cards had connectors for CDROM drives...but I'm unfamiliar
with the Vivo90. If it is, there is an article at Microsoft with some
hints: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q131/4/99.asp
Do you have any documentation for your Ensonic Vivo or your Panasonic
PD drive?

Bill
