WinXP Reading CD-Rom Incorrectly

[Nathan Haigh]

Ok, here's a description of the problems i'm having!

1) When i boot into windows without a cd in the drive and i then insert a
cd, in explorer the drive is still recognised as "CD-RW Drive (H:)".
2) When i boot into windows with a cd in the drive, then the correct name
and icon for the cd is displayed in exploror; however, when i eject the cd
and insert a different cd, the name/logo/contents of the previous cd still
exsist.

I am running:
WinXP win ServicePack1
I have an up-to-date virus scanner (with no detectable virusus)
A Lite-On LTR-48125S CD-RW drive

The only thing i could think of is that there is a problem with
windows......any suggestions?

Thanks
Nathan Haigh

This behaviore in windows explorer has been this way for
as long as I can remember. One just has to refresh the window.

I too have this problem and the "refresh" does not work for me. All/any of
my CD-ROM / DVD-ROM / CD-RW drives behave thsi way. The only way I was able
to have the XP session to be logged out or wait 1/2 hour for Windows to
refresh itsself (well at least on my system).
