Mel when you click your drive letter whehn there is a dvd in it does it show the files or anything??
mine doesn't even "see" that a disk is in it.
I tried 3 movies/dvd

none will even show anything file wise when they are in the drives.

my drives all function for data/music/burning
I checked the properties on them, checked the MWP settings/options so i am stuck on this one.

Jo:

I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. My dvd doesn't show up in the my computer thing either. The only time a dvd shows up is when I insert Avatar. Then if I go to my computer....there it is ....on Drive E.

If I insert any other dvd, nothing comes up in my computer. Doesn't matter anyway because I CAN'T PLAY ANYTHING.

Oh, I went to the computer guy earlier. He listened, said "bring it in, I'll fix it for you". I said "I gave you plenty of money already, and he said "yeah, don't worry, I'll fix it for you".

I told him "if you think I'm unplugging everything and lugging that stupid computer here, and then he laughed and said: "oh, I REMEMBER YOU NOW, YOU CAME IN WITH YOUR COMPUTER IN THAT WHEELY THING".

I said "that's me" and he said "bring it in".

I said 'when I get the chance, but don't hold your breath."

I laughed, he laughed, my computer is laughing.

And Jo: you said:

my 320gig is in 3 sections - 1 for Linux ubuntu {the dual boot part of my system}, 2 is a copy/clone of my XP on the other hard drive for backups and if a major crash, 3 is blank but I can use it for storage or add another Linux prgm if I want to.

Usually the partitioning adds drive letters
by default -
c is main drive unless someone changes that
d & e are the cd/dvd drives
f,g,h etc are the other partitions
if you plug in a usb drive that adds more drive letters also


I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT YOU WROTE.

lol lol lol lol

Partitioning, linux prgm, copy/clone, etc. etc.

I STILL USE VCR's.

lol
