How do I change the default rom drive on my computer?
My CD-ROM tray has trouble opening. I have a DVD/CD writer that I could install from CDs and DVDs but I need to install something from my XP disk and it Windows want me to enter the cd into my CD-ROM drive. How can change the default drive on my computer so I could install from DVD/CR-WR drive?

Re: How do I change the default rom drive on my computer?
Hi
 Change the drive letter in Disk management. (Right click "My computer" > choose "Manage" > Disk Management) In Disk management >> right click the drive and choose "Change drive letter and paths". First change the drive letter for the faulty drive to, for example, X:. Then change the drive letter for the DVD writer to what the faulty drive used to have.
