Inserting a CD in drive freezes computer

[Abhishek]

Microsoft SMARTDrive version 5.0 supports CD-ROM drive
caching. Any CD-ROM that is supported by Microsoft CD-ROM
Extensions (MSCDEX.EXE) can be cached by SMARTDrive.
May be that is the reason that you are unable to access a
different CD ROM.So try uninstalling the software if u
have.Also make sure that ur new CD is in working condition
so that ur computer doesnt hang.Try again by restarting
the computer.
