I have a Satellite A305-S6843 Labtop. Wheneve I put in a CD it doesnt show up in the Computer file, as in I can't see it as a file like on my real PC at home. So, the only CDs that I can use are ones that startup by themselves, and not even all of those work. So I'm wondering how do I open files on these CDs or play the games on these CDs , or even just be able to see them on my Labtop.

I would do the following: 1) download the latest drivers from the manufacturer for the cd drive. 2) delete the drive from the device manager 3) reboot and let the machine re-discover the drive (have the drivers available, just in case). -- Regards, Hank Arnold Microsoft MVP Windows Server - Directory Services
