windows only recognizes my in unit CD-DVD rom drive as an image burner?

Hi kenkoll, hope you're doing well. I'm Ian, and I'm happy to help you today.

If you're experiencing issues with your CD-ROM, you may need to uninstall and reinstall it. Here's how to do it:

1. Open Device Manager. You can do this by typing "Device Manager" in the Windows search bar or by right-clicking on the Windows Start menu and selecting "Device Manager" from the list.

2. Locate the CD-ROM in the list of devices. It may be under "DVD/CD-ROM drives" or "Storage controllers."

3. Right-click on the CD-ROM and select "Uninstall device." This will remove the CD-ROM from your system.

4. Reboot your computer. This step is important because it allows Windows to detect the CD-ROM and install the necessary drivers.

5. Once your computer has restarted, the CD-ROM should be automatically detected and reinstalled by Windows.

If you're still having issues with your CD-ROM after following these steps, you may need to update the drivers.
