The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

CD-ROM Drive does not "refresh" after new disk is inserted

Asked by cxbriggs in Hard Drives & Storage

Tags: refresh, cd, does, drive

I have a set of CD's which is a spanned rar archive.  When they were burned the DISKS were apparently were all given the same numeric name (030520_2015).  When I place the first volume in the drive it reads is fine as containing the file archive01.rar.  When I insert the second disk it does not recognize it as a new disk it still shows archive01.rar as the contents of disk2 and any other disk from this set I insert. (Refresh or F5 do not cause it to refresh) This does not happen when the disks have different disk names.

I have found that by inserting a completely different disk ejecting it and then inserting disk 2 the contents display correctly as archive02.rar

I have also discovered that by ejecting the disk closing the drive and then ejecting the empty drive and then inserting disk2 also will cause it to correctly read the disk.  BUT... only if i use eject from the explorer menu. Pressing the eject button on the dive itself and doing the above results in it still incorrectly reading the disk contents.

And this is occurring on both my cd-rw drive and the DVD drive on my windows XP computer with all current service packs and critical updates applied. I can duplicate this on two other XP computer I have as well, but not on a windows 2k advanced server.

What is going on here?  It there some sort of XP windows explorer caching happening?
