How do I prevent CD/DVD drive access on every file operation?
I'm new to the forum - thanks for having me here
About a week ago I started noticing that the CD/DVD drive on my laptop was being accessed on just about every file open, save or browse operation. Please forgive me if I'm not using the right terminology. For example, if I save an image from a web page in Chrome, the CD drive attempts to spin up when the save dialog appears. This applies to saving or opening files in every application I use (Photoshop, Illustrator, Sublime Text, AIMP, etc.).
Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Can I just disable it? I rarely use the DVD drive, in fact since I got the laptop at the end of last year, I've only opened the drive once.
I appreciate the help!
