| 450130 | 2006-04-28 00:26:00 | I thought the question was idiot-proof and blatant - it asks the whether or not the operating system could make a difference to whether a CDROM disk runs or not. The "identical system/s" is a hypothetical hardware scenario. I could cry! :waughh: | Greg (193) | ||

| 450132 | 2006-04-28 03:15:00 | Usually people ask hypothetical when they are contemplating real situations: "hypothetically if I hit my keyboard with a baseball bat, could it unstick my backspace key?" Anyhow, a CD is pretty fundamental to Windows; it's pretty hard to do anything without a CD / DVD reader. CD/DVD are probably abstracted within Windows, so that different drivers could use standard hooks. Though I can't be certain, I would be surprised if Microsoft came up with different abstracted versions. So I guess my answer would be "no", the O/S alone shouldn't cause a problem, though different drivers could. |
