Hi jake,
You can disable by right clicking "My computer Icon on your desktop" and
choosing properties , this will open the system properties dialog box,
choose device manager. The device manager shows the contents of your
computer, by highlighting an entry, simply right click and properties. for
example if you choose DVD -CDROM, then you get a choice of 2 seperate
devices to choose from, right click each choose properties, in this window
at the bottom on the tab "use this device (enabled), simply click and
select disable this device. click ok , exit. reboot all should be fine
good luck
Apu
