Most of that stuff means little to me. Having the drive show up in Device Manager seems good.
Do you have a bootable CD or DVD? If you can boot the PC from the DVD drive, that would establish that it's probably a Windows problem, rather than a hardware problem with the drive.

Thanks for the idea! I will try as soon as I get my hands on a bootable CD.
