Im on windows xp and if i have a disc in the drive. Take it out and change it. WIndows still thinks it is the old disc that was in their before and even autoruns the old disc. Is this really weird or is there something simples to fix.
Oh yea: Im running a P4 1.8ghz,512 rd-ram and the cd rom drive is an acer 56x Model CD 656A
