You should not have to download a driver for an EIDE drive for operation
under Windows.

Does the BIOS see the drive when you boot? If not:

Check wiring, jumpers (Master/Slave/CS) as appropriate.

Why do you think the secondary channel was disabled ?

I have no idea where your drive manufacturer may have put
the name and model
on your drive.

You may have to 'get at the drive' to see.

Seems a bit odd that you have to know that.
My computer is not recognizing the drive. So I was going
to go to the manufacturers web site and download the
driver for it but I do not know who the manufacturer is.

Take a look in device manager under CD-ROM.

If not there you may have to look at the drive.
