NO CD DRIVE INSTALLED (how can i install it)

[Cesar_duque]

I recieved a Longwatch (esentially a little PC used in a surveillance
system) with XP Embedded, the problem is: the solution we need to provide
must use a 3g modem from Huawei and this modem installs itself as a CDROM
Drive, no CD rom Drive came installed with the system, and XP embedded
doesn´t recognize any CD from USB, ther are no dirvers for those also, how
can i "force" XP embedded to recognize them?

XPe is built from components. Who ever built the image left out support for
CD-ROM. It would be difficult at this point to add all the different pieces
into an image. You might want to check with the PC manufacturer to see if
they have a patch for the image.
