DVDRW drive won't release image of previous disk

[Gordon]

As in the subject, my DVDRW drive, which is the slave drive (the CDROM drive
has just packed up!) won't release the image of the previous disk - how do I
fix this?

thanks

You mean it has "cached" the directory? Reboot with nothing in the drive
yet?

Fixed - used the Autoplay Repair tool from here:

Unfortunately while it also fixed the CDROM drive as well, it's reversed the
drive letters - but I can live with that!

Just switch them back in Disk Management.
