Moving DVD drives in software

abby normal · Jun 27, 2010, 08:09 AM

In Win 7 OEM Home Prem., When I click on Computer on desktop,
the window opens and shows on the left side computer. On the right side, it shows both my DVD's as drives d: and e:. When I go left window and open computer, it shows drive c: and folders under that. In Vista HP, computer showed both DVD drives at the bottom of drive c:

My question is......in Win 7 can I move the DVD drives from the right window to the left window under Computer at the bottom like in Vista and how?

PS- If I put a disk in drives d: or e:, Then in windows explorer, it shows drives d: and e: at the bottom.

Go to folder options and enable "Show all folders" on the Gereral tab. This way the empty DVD drive should be displayed too.

Again thank you for your help.
