    Switch to a new CD Rom


    Somehow my laptop's built-in CD-Rom D: doesn't work anymore - cannot reject at all!Then I bough an external CD Rom. Every time I plus it in and it shows in E: drive.I need to re-install some software, the system asks me to insert my CD to the built-in CD-Rom D:, but cannot insert in this drive. Instead, I insert my CD to the external CD-Rom E:. And of course, the system doesn't recognize the CD in E:!Please give me a hand on how to make the system recognizes my CD in E: drive.I am still using Window 7.Thanks!

    :)

      Start > Settings > System >
      About      .
    • Are you getting any error messages?
    • Were there any changes made on your computer settings prior to this issue?
