NOTE!!!! I heard from a web site saying that all the 52x Model Kenwood Drives were faulty when they were shipped. So check with their Web Site and see what they have to say about them. before trying the Information Below.
Well here is what I found with my 42x Kenwood CD-ROM drive, it might work for you if not then you might try re-installing W2K and retry my idea. Goto control panel, system, hardware (tab), Device Manager, then IDE/ATA ATAPI Controlers, then double click, then left click on the controler that your CD-ROM drive is connected to, then select Properties, then Advanced Settings, then select DMA if Possible for the transfer mode. (Will NEED to REBOOT to have changes take effect). Then chec the settings after reboot to see if the Current Transfer Mode says DMA Mode. if it does then your all set. If not then try a fresh install of W2K again. If that doesn't work. then make sure your BIOS is set for auto on all IDE devices.
If still no go after all that, then Return the Drive and get a different one if you can.

OP
I had already tried that...no change.
The site says nothing about 52X drives being faulty
Thanks
