help
simple..... always simple...... but I need help! A simple question: how do you view your cd drive on windows vista? I keep getting BEWARE, WARNING, etc. Can't view anything or load anything. I am IT literate or at least I thought i WAS! Give me back explorer (and I have used this but can't see the cd drive). I think I need to movw back to windows xp and ms 2003. Help!

Vista is no different than XP. Either access it through the Windows Explorer or My Computer.
Exactly how are you trying to access the drive and exactly what is the message(s) you are getting.

That's what I was doing but I can't see the drive. I can only see the C drive and the D RECOVERY drive. The warnings I was getting was because I thought the system had seen the CD drive (D:) and labeled it RECOVERY. I know now that that is a special partitioned part of the drive. The CD drive was not visible. It might be the drive that's faulty but it was OK before as I loaded software from it. Thanks for the replies, I will try again.

That's right...basically its the same.
You can just click on the Start Orb then lick Computer to show the Explorer window. :emotion-2:
