Hi,
I hope you can help me resolve a problem that I
encountered after I upgraded to Windows XP, Home Edition.
When I was upgading, the drive letters were changed.
After placing a CD in the drive that was created in MS
Word, I was not able to read it.
So,I thought that the drives were reassigned and that's
the reason for not being able to read it. But, the
program installed "autorun" and "udfinst." Even with all
of that, I cannot read the disc. I changed the drive
letters to the original configuration that I had in
Windows 98, 2nd edition, but Word still cannot open the
files for me to read! I write poetry and I use MS Word
2000 to save the poems to a disc. The disc burner is an
HP cd-writer 9300.
Please help.
P.S. When I try to delete or remove the autorun or
udfinst, I am told that is a "read" file only and cannot
be deleted.
Thank you.

Drive letter assignments will have zero impact on the readability of
files from a drive.

What exactly happens when you insert a CD with files on it into the
drive, open Windows Explorer, and attempt to see the contents of the
CD? Pleae include the complete *verbatim* text of any and all error
messages.

I don't know if it applies but did you upgrade all your drivers to XP
