I just got a new computer that has a DVD-ROM, running
WinXP + service pack 1. The DVD-ROM works ok, can play
dvd movies fine.

But, in My Computer->Devices with Removable Storage, it
is shown as a "CD Drive". How do I change it to say "DVD
ROM Drive"? Do I need to de-install and re-install this
drive? or is there some setting I can change?

My DVD-ROM is a MATSHITA DVD-ROM SR-8584A

Thanks

Li
 
Li, I think you have a good idea. Uninstall the Drive from Device
Manager. Let WinXP reinstall it.
 
I had a similar problem a few weeks ago and it turned out
that the DVD-ROM was faulty. Can you try a different
drivein your PC or try your drive in a different PC
