external USB writer

4th March 2003, 10:31

I just got me an external cd-writer. Now i want this to be the only cd/dvd/writer-drive linked to my pc. It's attached throught usb2.0. But now, when for instance i start a game, the pc doesn't look for the cd in that drive. I constantly get errors: put the correct disk in the drive. How can i make the pc look there en treat the external drive like any other drive?

so you install a game from the External CD writer, does it refer to the right drive letter ?
