90% of the time either method 1 or 2 works.(assumeing it a software problem not a hardware problem)
unfortunally I went through it with him on aim yesterday and neither method worked.

is the drive getting power? does it open and close correctly...just not recognized? I would assume it's a bad IDE cable, or possibly the wrong IDE Channel (try a diff one for both)
Also in the BIOS you might have it set to "disabled" for that channel or something, and you need to activate it. Search for new hardware in Windows might have it pop up as well. I've had this problem b4 on a few computers but it seems one of those steps always fixed it.

My old comp did this for ages..I don't know how I got by, lol.
In the end I had to get it looked at by a pro. The CD/RW had gone kaput as had the HD, which also meant we had to get windows re-installed
