So which drive do you have install? from what I can understand from your post you are asking about 2 diff. drives

Either way it sounds like you are saying winbloz is not reconizing your drive.
You do not need drivers for this you need a working drive. Winbloze uses the same drivers for all cd,dvd drives so if it will not recognize the drive enough to show under windows explorer then the drive either is gone or something wrong with your setup.

Make sure all the drives on the ribbon are fully connected, and have the power connected, Also check to make sure you don't have 2 drives on the same ribbon set to Master.
Again to make sure you understand drivers for the drive are not an issue they would only be needed under DOS ( prior to msdex)
so your problem is either bad drive, bad ribbon, bad setup,
Hope that helps.
