You can't. You need to replace the defective CD drive.

How do I share a CD rom drive on a network?
Right click on your drive and select the option for Properties-Sharing.
Check the box under Network sharing and security. If this is a CD-R/W drive and you use packet writing (like InCD) you can also check "Allow network users to change my files" otherwise leave that unchecked. On her system she will need first open an Explorer windows and select Tools-Map Network Drive then browse to the location of the network share for the CD drive. -- Harry Ohrn MS-MVP [Shell/User] www.webtree.ca/windowsxp "SP" wrote in message o.verio.net...

Why can't he set it up as a network share and then have her create a mapped
drive? -- Harry Ohrn MS-MVP [Shell/User] www.webtree.ca/windowsxp "Carey Frisch [MVP]" wrote in message ... You can't.
