Sorry Len, I was tired when I posted that post.
What I did was I was trying to copy a CD to my burner and
somehow I set the whole E:\ up to burn with the contents
of the CD I was trying to burn. Now my computer will not
recognize my CD rom. I have tried to search for the
drive itself but I can not find it. To be honest I am not
sure how i was even able to capture the CDrom so
explaining it is kinda difficult. I hope this helps
because I am drawing a blank. I learned a valuable
lesson do not do anything to a computer when your tired.
Thanks!

Is it fair to say you MOVED your CDROM to the CD burner?

When you select the CD burner in Explorer can you act on the cdrom under the "Files
Ready to Be Written to the CD"? Can you drag it back out?

What! You cannot copy drive letters. You can copy discs though.
Try ejecting the disc and then reinsert it again. Press F5 to refresh
the screen.
