Drive Letters

[Guest]

My "L" CDROM drive is not shown in "My Computer" folder nor "Windows Explorer".
It's shown in Device Manager "Properties", but lists no drive letter for it.
Drive L:. is active, but very difficult to use.

I finally did fix the problem.
I swapped my CD-ROM drive with one in my backup computer )
