When I open "My Computer" I can see all my drives from HDD to CD/DVD/CD-RW, but for some reason all 3 of my drives says it's CD-Drives. I have 1 CD-RW, 1 DVD Drive & 1 CD-Rom. It did at one point, show the types of drives. For example my DVD drive had a special Icon and read DVD-Rom and the same with my CD-RW.
Today when I opened "My Computer" all of them read CD-Rom drives. WHY?
I right clicked the drives and check properties and everything looked fine. They all seem to be working fine, yet this is odd.
If anyone has any info please help. Thanks
