Hi
I'm having a bit of a problem. when I right click on my DVDrw Drive I can't view or explore the drive as a folder. i have tried to use the open , or open in a new window from the drop down right click menu but nothing the my computer folder flashes once and no new folder is opened. when i try to expand the dvd drive in explorer by right clicking it, the expand option is greyed out.
I thought It might be a hardware issue but the drive will still play dvd's cd's etc and run executables through autoplay. it just wont let me explore the drive as a folder
I'm running Windows7. my dvd drive is relativly new panasonic.
Please Help!!
