Mike V 0 Posted March 5, 2000 I know I should have put this in the "Other" forum, but I don't think anyone would look there. Whenever I do a search off of the Start menu or any similar action (like Winzip extract), Windows 2000 pauses to spinup the CD and bring it into the path. This is very annoying, if you have a CD inserted. Any way around this? Mike Share this post Link to post
YuppieScum 0 Posted March 6, 2000 This is not guarunteed, but... The OS will *always* spin up a removable disk when enumerating drives, because that's the only way to for it to assure the reliability of the info it knows about it... However, if "insert notification" is enabled for that device, the OS should be able to use cached information, as it can authoratitavly know the disk hasn't changed... However, MS may have changed this behaviour since I last have cause to analyse it... Share this post Link to post
