Default Problem with D drive in Windows ME

A friend has a strange error which I could not sort out for him. When
alternating discs in the CDRom drive, Windows Excplorer doesn't
recognise that you've gone from a music CD to a data CD and vice
versa, no matter how many times you open/close D drive, close down
Explorer etc. You have to reboot to get it to take notice! "Autostart"
is ticked for both music and data CDs, which I am told is fine. Any
ideas if it's hardware or software at fault? Thanks! Pete.

Probably hardware - the switch in the drive that detects disc changes is
likely defective.
