Aha! That's sounds a good idea. Why didn't I think of it! Will give it a go as soon as email is finished and let you know whether it worked!

Hi Carol One method you could try is to go into the device manager and uninstall the CD / DVD roms from the list, reboot the computer and see whether windows has detected your new drives. To do this go to your desktop, select the my computer icon, press the applications key and cursor down to manage. When the computer management window opens, cursor down to device manager. Hit TAB and cursor down to DVD / CD rom drives. Hit the right cursor key to expand the entries, select the CD device and then use the applications key to select uninstall. Do the same to uninstall the DVD rom drive and then alt f4 to close the window. Reboot your computer and hopefully you should see the correct drives in device manager this time. Hope this helps.

My CD and DVD drives both went in this computer and a friend had some used ones which still worked. He installed them for me but I notice that they both still show up as the same named drives I used to have. The problem now is that they will both play on the computer but the CDRW drive will not write using CDEX for ripping CD's. Nobody seems sure what these drives are and I'm wondering how I can find out. I was hoping that, maybe, Belarc Adviser would tell me, but of course, it's picking up the information already in my computer for the named drives; so I still haven't been able to find out. Does anyone have suggestions as to how I may at least solve the problem so that I can once again use this computer to copy my music! -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Twitter: http://twitter.com/songbird49a ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq __________ NOD32 4625 (20091120) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
