Copy DVD to hard drive
Restore CD/DVD in Explorer - Save the file
below to your hard drive. Navigate to where you
saved it and double click the file. A confirmation dialog will
appear when the script is done. You may need to reboot for the
change to take effect.
CD/DVD missing in Explorer - Registry patch.
Possibly a driver type file (usually associated with burning
software) has gone AWOL, leaving an orphan in registry. To tidy up, get a
registry patch file, cdgone.reg, from:
http://www.aumha.org/downloads/cdgone.zip. Extract it, r-click on
it and merge it into the registry and
reboot. You will then need to reinstall any burning software that you use.
