(If you have Windows 2000 or XP) If the E drive can still be seen in 'My
Computer' and you are using the same discs that worked before then it sounds
like your DVD-RW Driver is shot and you will probably need to replace it.
They don't last for ever and it is quite common for them to burn out and
stop working.

However - I might be wrong and someone else might have some suggestions to
try first but a replacement is needed I think. They are easy to replace and
cheap enough to buy.

Good luck,
Lenny

And the name of the CD never changes when you put in a new one, then:

Start | run | REGEDIT <enter> Goto
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom

Double click on AutoRun and make sure it's set to 1

REBOOT
