Optical drive issue - cant turn off, always on
Hi my optical drive has an on off switch.
If I try to switch it off I get this message:
"..Problem ejecting standard dual channel PCI IDE controller" and then advises that I need to close the program that is using the PCI controller.
If I right click in the systems tray - safely remove hardware - there is an option to eject the "standard dual channel PCI IDE controller"
If I do eject that, will it mean that when I re-boot the optical drive will no longer be recognized by windows? THought id ask before trying it.
The reason why I would like to turn it off is because it is hardly used and I am sure that it just drains the battery. Thanks
