Re: Added DVD drive doesn't show in Win2K-Pro's Windows Explorer

TweakUI certainly fixed the problem. That is a new one for me. Many thanks.

How on earth did the drive letter get hidden in the first place? I certainly didn't knowingly hide the drive letter.

With Windows, one learns something new every day .....

If no errors in Device manager then I wonder if you have hidden the Drive letter that is assigned to the drive? Get TweakUI and unhide any drive letters.

Thanks for your response.

The new DVD-ROM drives appears in Win2K-Pro Computer Management's logical drive list and has a drive letter assigned. I wasn't able to install the DVD-ROM software (from Plextor) because it is on a DVD-ROM disk and my existing CD-ROM drive won't read DVD-ROM disks and because Windows Explorer, which does not show the existence of the new DVD-ROM drive, won't let me bring the DVD drive up.

I installed a DVD-ROM drive to my W2K-Pro machine which already had a working DC-ROM drive installed and working. Both the CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives are listed in Computer Management's Logical Drives listing. How do I get Windows Explorer to recognize the existence of this added drive?

Thanks, in advance, for any advice.
