A Question for my DVD Drive

[ComputerBox34]

I have a Lite-On DVD drive. The drive works fine and everything, plaqys DVD's etc but in Windows Explorer, It shows up as a CD Drive. Never had this happen to me b4 and I've tried everything I could think of. My friend also had this happen to him and he ended up getting a new DVD drive. \

Any ideas?

I have 2 DVD drives on my system, both show up as CD drives, never worried about it.

Same thing here. Who cares? I don't see the big deal with it.

put a dvd in there and see if it works, if it works then there is notting to worry about. i have a old cd-rw drive and windows xp sees it as a cd rom drive, but when u right click, it says write these files to cd.

Windows will see it as a normal-cdrom drive because that's essentially all it is. Until the DVD media is put into the drive - it's a cdrom drive.

O, ok. Stupid question I guess. I know that it reads DVD's cause I watch movies on it. Would like to test out the DVD-ROM though. (play games, etc) THanks for the help everone

(My CD-RW drive reads as CD-RW not CD-ROM)
