Will the cd drive show up in windows explorer in the absence of any cd/dvd

(1/3) > >>

Hi,
           In the xp os, the cd drive will be showing up, even when the cd or dvd is not there in the drive. Will the same be show up in windows 7. Moreover, when i tried trouble shooting hardware and devices, i get the message, that "hard ware changes might not have been detected" with an exclamation mark. What does this denote.

jraju:
hi, I am enclosing the log and other texts. I tried your tool for msi and cd fix

Shane:
My repair tools wont help with that.

I am not sure what the problem is though.

You said the cd drive shows up even though there is no cd in it, this is normal. What problem are you having?

jraju:
hi, Shane the problem is just the opposite. It does not show up when there is no cd or dvd in the drive.But in double clicking the computer, it is showing up as dvd rw drive. I ask is this normal in windows 7. I used your tool to fix the cd or dvd missing or not working . Even then the problem persists. So i enclosed the screenshot for your reference.

                   I think your computer does show the cd drive even when there is no cd or dvd in there. I tried microsoft fix it also.
                   When i insert a cd. it shows in the windows explorer, other wise not. Is this normal

Shane:
Isnt this the same drive you have had trouble with in the past?
