Re: Sharing a DVD Drive with another computer

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Administrative tools>local security policy>security options.

Restrict CD ROM to locally logged on users only might be set, it needs to be
disabled.

Then you need to have a user set up with the same credentials as your XP
machine - I assume you already have this if other shared files can be seen.

Not sure if this is the answer but worth a look at security policy.
