Hi folks,
I just reinstalled a system for a friend with XP. I also installed a second
hard drive and a second cd rom.
All work fine but I'm curious as to why the second cd rom shows up as
CD Ram drive (F:)
instead of CD Drive (F:)
Might it have anything to do with "Express Recovery" which can be installed
from the chipset disk? (It's a gigabyte mobo)

ALL rewriter drives show as DVD Ram drive IF they are able to burn/read DVD
RAM disks.
Only CD ROM drives show as CD ROM .
Every single writer/rewriter that I have ever installed were/are able to
burn/read DVD RAM disks and have always shown as DVD RAM

That's right! Microsoft XP is supposed that be able to write directly
to DVD-RAM media.
 
Thanks Dingbat, for clearing that up.
