I have used Linux in various versions for a while. I am tasked with "resurrecting" older PC's for a "thrift" shop here. I load Linux and Open Office on them. I have a PC now that had Xubuntu loaded on it that worked fine. I had to load Ubuntu 9.1 on it as I did not have the passwords. The system loaded fine from a CD. When I boot the system now and look at the computer's resources, I see the hard disk, the CD drive, and the DVD drive. However, when I place a CD or DVD in either of the drives, that drive disappears.
If I place the Ubuntu CD in the drive it will boot fine. Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue?
Thank you,
Robert A. Williams
