but then how does it detect DVD 's? and not CD's? ..isnt it the same lense for both of the purposeS??

one thing mor e, when I insert a CD , the CD/DVDROM starts blinking as if tryin to read it , even there's a small CD icon with ym mouse cursor , but it doesnt show up on my CD/DVDROM Drive (D:) , I mean there's no icon tht says okay u cn access the CD now or siumething , but if i Do the same thing with a DVD , It reads it nicely ..
