Adaptec Hell

I have a hellacious problem. My Hp-7960 with WinME, came with a Mitsumi cd-rw that failed and I replaced it with a Sony CXR195E1 Cd-RW. Now the adaptec easy cd creator ver 4.05 and adaptec wizard 3.05 ( came on the machine ) will not recognize the Sony at all.
The B's programs installed with the Sony work fine, will copy, format and create cd's.
I have updated - or tried to- from adaptec 4.02 to 4.05, this is difficult because adaptec is now Roxio and I keep getting the message on upgrading " Failed - no Roxio components found "- or similar words on some of the adaptec upgrades.
The CD/DVD ROM also on there has no problems. Both devices are connected as CSEL ( cable select ) as they were originally, Sony recommended the same connections. Only Adaptec is the problem.
Any and all help surely appreciated !
Thanks !
