CD-Drive problem

[o_yoshura]

Ok so when i first start up my computer, there is no CD drive listed. I got to control panel > system > hardware > device manager, then i scan for P&P compatible hardware, and boom my cd drive is there...

Its a pain to have to do this all the time, is there a way to fix it?
