Is it a desktop or laptop computer?
I take it you now plug in a USB external drive.
If you left the dud drive in the computer when you boot up it tries to read
it, it there fore cannot know what program to use when you plug in the
external one so when you put in a music disk just slick which program you
want it to use to play it like Windows Media Player and it will remember
next time.

Subject: [The Computer Hardware Technician] DVD drives not copying
I have a compaq presarion. It runs WINXP. It's five or 6 years old.The dvd
drive E stopped working.It would claim that the empty disks I put in it were
full. I bought a NU brand dvd drive. It worked at first. Now when I try to
get my computer to recognize the drive (I only plug it in when I need to use
it)it says dvd drive f is not a function. However when I put a written disk
in the portable drive F it will ask which program I want to use to open it.
Anyone have an idea what needs to be done to correct this? Thanks for any
advice.
