PC won't recognize DVD drive

Hi


I have the BenQ DW1640 DVD+/- R/RW drive in an external case. I connected the drive after a few days of non-use and now my PC will not recognize it. When I connect the USB cable the PC gives me a beep, which it usually does, but the device never actually shows as connected. I get a little bubble saying "this device can perform faster...if connected to a USB2 port," which is what always happens. I've tried different cables and different USB ports with no luck. I've also opened the external enclosure to make sure all cables are properly connected. I have other external devices, a hard drive and a printer, which are recognized by my PC. Have any of you come across this before. I'm running XP on an HP Pavillion 750n. Thanks for any help.
