C Drive being used as a CD.

Goomba · 06-01-2007, 04:15 PM

Alright, you know how when you insert a game CD, and you go into My Computer and see all the drives? There should be an icon and the name of the game on one of the drives. (F.) But when I got Quake 3 Arena and installed it, this is what happened to my C Drive.

As you can see, the Quake 3 Arena icon has taken place of the original C Drive icon. When I click on it, this happens.

The game startup appears, just like if i were to click on my F drive with an inserted CD. Sure, I can just right click and click explore... But it is slower, and opens a new window.

Any suggestions on getting my old C Drive back?

Thanks,
Goomba

Stupid question time!

Does this remain after a reboot?
