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. |
