Media Player Does Not Recognize Multiple CD-ROM Drives

ID: Q155926

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

If you have more than one CD-ROM drive installed, you cannot select the drive you want to use in Media Player to play an audio CD.

CAUSE

Media Player does not recognize multiple CD-ROM drives.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, use CD Player to play audio CDs. If the AutoRun feature is enabled in Windows NT, CD Player starts automatically when you insert an audio CD. If the AutoRun feature is disabled, you can start CD Player by clicking the Start button, pointing to Programs, pointing to Accessories, pointing to Multimedia, and then clicking CD Player.
