I believe the M: drive is coming from yor config.sys.

Click Start - Run - sysedit - copy the config.sys and paste it for us.

What kind of PC have you? Processor,memory, HDD

It sounds to me like the computer is loading it wrong in setup/cmos. Your cd-roms should be last drives listed, for example mine are "K" and "L" with L being an external cd-writer. You need to check settings in setup for secondary slave, assumming that is what you have cd-writer hooked in as? It sounds like it is detecting your cd-writer wrong, depending on your setup options you may be able to set secondary slave option to "cd-rom" or "none", it is probably set to auto now, and it is detecting drive incorrectly therefore settings are wrong.
Hi,

To me this seems software and maybe aspi layer.

Also, this writer is 'allergic' to the setting 'DMA'.
Make sure DMA is NOT checked !!

Which Software do you use ?
Seems like Adaptec Easy CD ... (Pro or Creator) ?

Go to device manager and select the cd and rw,
one at a time, select properties/settings tab, and check and see
what drive letters are assigned and if you can change them.

Yes, DMA can be a problem with cd-rw. Look at that while you're in settings as well.

Change your CD burner its defactive!
If the settings in cmos setup are wrong, you change all you want in Windows and device manager and it will do you no good, setup sets the mode of each drive and tells windows how to load it each time you reboot your computer.
Shame on Bision for proposing his comment as an answer.

The HP7200i (which I have installed several of) does NOT always get along with other types of CD-Roms. The first step in addressing this, is to open the computer, and switch the HP7200i to be the Master (a jumper setting on the back of the HP7200i unit). Try bringing your system up again.. if it works.. you are golden. If it does not, switch the HP7200i's jumper setting back to slave, and then cable the CD-Rom onto the Primary IDE channel with the Disk Drive. Again, if it works.. you are golden. If it does not (or the Primary IDE cable is full and you cannot attach it there).. bring up the computer with NO Cd-Rom other than the HP7200i. You will find that it now works perfectly.. but unfortunately, your present CD-Rom reader is incompatable with the HP7200i.. sell it.. and get another.. <sigh>.
thanks bision,the drive letters are ok now.the burner is still not working right.same errer message.culd my burner be bad? it worked at one time on this same pc.
