Sorry to reply to my own question, but I have figured out the problem, it turns out that the cables were connected to the wrong drives, so when I clicked on the DVD drive icon instead of accessing the DVD drive it was accessing the CD-ROM drive and vice versa, so when i've time I will swap the cables back round and it should all be back to normal (I hope) thanks again and sorry for a waste of a posting. cheers Matthew -- Message sent from an IYONIX www.iyonix.com Using RISC OS 5 : RISC OS Open Ltd www.riscosopen.co.uk --- To alter your preferences or leave the group, visit //www.freelists.org/list/iyonix-support Other info via //www.freelists.org/webpage/iyonix-support List-related queries to iyonix-support-moderators@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
