Weird CD Drive problem
Posted: Thu Oct 30, 2003 4:56 am
This has got me stumped!!
This is a clean installation of Windows XP Professional.
When i insert a CD into my drive, everything works as expected. Can browse the CD, install programs etc.
The trouble starts after ejecting the CD.
Now, if i insert another completely differnet CD in the drive and go to browse it, i can see all the files that were on the previous CD.
I can even browse through the directories and copy files from there to my hard drive, even though that CD isn't in my computer anymore!!!
I have tried this with numerous CD's with the same outcome.
Eventually, the system will realise there is a new CD in the drive, but it is driving me crazy. I could undertsand if i could just SEE the files due to some caching option!?! but to be able to copy whole folders and files!?!?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Mark
