Question DVD-Rom wanting to Format everything
I am working on a laptop: Dell Inspiron 3800
and it contains a Toshiba DVD-Rom SD-C2402.
Operating System: Windows 2000

Every time I put a CD in to the drive it comes up with the message:
"The Disk in Drive D is not formatted. Do you want to format it now?" With only 2 responses "Yes" and "No". If i click No then it just goes back the "My Computer" window.

I have tried uninstalling the driver and downloading them from both the Dell and Toshiba websites. These drivers are not recognised by Windows and it reverts to using the Windows standard CD-Rom ones.

If anyone can shead some light on this situation i would be very grateful. More info. about Laptop spec can be supplied if necessary, just not the IP etc .

That will do it, assuming you're comfortable changing things in the registry.

Took the CD-Rom apart and changed it with another Toshiba CD-Rom (same one basically). Put it back together and now it runs perfectly...
