wheres the cd-rw?

Question

i have just instaled a new cd-rw optical drive in my p.c and it has come up in my computer as a cd-drive
how do you change it so the icon will appear as cd-rw like my dvd drive
its a samsung sw-212b and i have done a live update with the firmware but this has done nothing
any ideas

Answer 1

I'm not entirely sure it can be done. You could try searching the registry or use the "manage function".

Click start, click run, type regedit, then click crtl + F, then type in SW-212b and hit enter, it might throw up some options.

alternatively, right click on My Computer, then click on manage, have a look through there to see if there are any options.

Be really careful when doing either of these options as both could screw up you computer, Good luck

Answer 2

That's quite normal. Microsoft doesn't have the slightest idea how to build operating systems. As long as it functions as a CD-RW, you have nothing to worry about.

Answer 3

does it work ?
if why worry
go to device manager and see what it in there
if it is cd-rw that ok

Answer 4

i totally agree with everyone.

if it works it is OK.

dont mess with things if they work.

you will only be sorry when you f*ck it up.

it is only an icon!

you bought it to copy and write CD's

and if it does that it is serving its purpose.

forget icons exist!

Answer 5

right click on the icon...
