Is there a way to use JavaScript to determine:

(1)whether a user has a CD-ROM drive; and
(2)what the drive's name is?

If so, can I write a script to play a media file on the CD (i.e. - a video file -- to avoid streaming)?

TIA for your help.

There is no way to do that with JavaScript, you will need something like a Java Applet to do that, and even then you have to ask the user for permission.
