Windows 7 detects pen drive as CD rom

Mar 29, 2011 8:56AM PDT

Hi,

Windows 7 was detecting my pen drive normally but recently it turned to detect the pen drive, external hd and 3G modem as a cd rom unit.

Because of that the disconnect safely option doesn't appear anymore despite I have normal access to the data in the devices.

I already tryied to disable the devices and enable them again but it didn't work.

I would appreciate any help.

Thank you.
