dvd drive is called cd drive

[Bill]

Sometimes in explorer winxp calls my dvd drive a cd drive. It is always
able to read all dvd discs, even if it is called a cd drive. It seems to
mis-name it after reading and ejecting a disk. Rebooting always fixes it.
Refreshing does not.
Whats up with this ?

Probably nothing. I see this on several WinXP computers.

See if renaming it and changing the icon helps.
