[Pc_Support] Weird Losing connected DVD-burners after 'Dynamic Disk' on XP64bit

Guys,

In this 'never-ending saga', I need some additional help.  After changing
my disks to 'Dynamic', I lost my DVD burner?

Here's the setup:

Win XP 64 Bit
two 300GB SATA drives
one Plextor 755SA (dvd burner with ide-to-SATA built-in so that it
connects to a SATA connection)
ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe motherboard (with latest updates).

BIOS sees the drive....when I look at Device Manager, it says, "drivers
are loaded but can't find the device".  When I manually unplug the SATA
connection, the device (with yellow exclaimation point) removes from
Device manager...when I connect to different SATA connection point, the
device reappears with same error.

Plextor Professional says "Can't find device" when starting.

The drive had been working great, up until converting my SATA drives to
dynamic for RAID use....any ideas?

Thanks in advance!!!!!!  - dave
