I hope I am in the right area and if not I apologize. I have Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit and I just noticed a weird issue that I am not sure how to fix.
Current system is an AsRock Z97 Extreme 4 board, 8GB of ram, with various hard drives and an SSD. It also had a CD/DVD burner. the SSD is C:, I have a 160GB platter ad D: and then my CD/DVD is E: and then there are about 3 other drives. When I connect another drive via either a free sata port or if I connect my external via USB which has a hard drive in it, the CD/DVD disappears and the hard drive I am connecting now becomes E:. Then if I remove the drive the CD/DVD never comes back.
So some questions. Why is it when I connect it seems to over ride the CD/DVD rom letter (E to the new drive? And then how do I get it back? Only way I can get it back currently is to disconnect all the drives with the exception of C and D and then it appears.
If I put a media disc in, it does not play or anything. Is there some setting to say "when I connect anything, never use E:?
Thanks
