Dvd drives called cd drive in 'my computer'

[Jbrizzel]

Here is a picture so you can see how it is acting.

Picture:




I have to double click into the disc root and manually click the .exe's to install games/software which is very annoying.
It use to work fine then all of a sudden it says CD drives when I clearly have x2 sata dvd burners.

I have already tried to troubleshoot by doing the following:

-Uninstall both DVD Drives from device manager / Scan for new H/W Changes / Reboot
-Used the Microsoft Fix It application

My Specs:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti
Memory: G.Skill F2-8500CL5-2GBPK 2GBx4 8GB
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P rev. 1.6
DVD Drives: ASUS DRW-24B1ST / Lite-On iHAS124-04
Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Any help will be very thankful.

COuld be a few things, XP had a few quirks with cd vs DVD vs combo drives, if last disk inserted was a CD it might refer to both as CD drivers, a corrupt driver could cause it

I still haven't figured it out

Could try reloading the drivers, or even removing both (drivers and hardware, then re hooking up and see how the default reads it

[Jbrizzel]

Yeah, I uninstalled the drives in device manager then shut down computer,
un hooked both sata and sata power on both drives, booted back up to windows,
shut down, re hooked everything back, started back up and it's still CD Drives!

Off hand, don't know, will try and see what I can find over the weekend when I have some free time

Thanks Tradesman.

Nothing definite. A fair amount with XP and IDE nVidia drivers, saw one where the person deleted the drivers and then the drives from device manager, killed the system pulled the drives, went back in made sure nothing in device manager, then off again, reinstalled (with a DVD in the drive already) and that supposedly 'fixed' it

[Jbrizzel]

Alright, will try that out.

PS: The Image Verification is VERY annoying!

[Tradesman]

Will pass that along to GSkill (and good luck)

Hi, do you have Autoplay set to automatically run .exe files?

Hi, I'm new to the board and want to start my account on helping something. I found this is easy start for me and so thought of helping you. But I think I'll have to Google. Generally, this will fix it in most of the cases- -Uninstall both DVD Drives from device manager / Scan for new H/W Changes / Reboot. Now as it is not working for you, I'll have to search for a solution and let you know about it.

[Tradesman]

Thanks for jumping in!

Still I did not identify it.I will try to identify,
