now everytime i put some cd in my new cd-rom i get this notice:

 

Files that are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions. To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files.

 

Insert win xp cd now...

My Computer, right click, Manage, Removable Storage, Libraries, Sony Cd-Rom, right click, Properties, General and check enable drive & Security and check Permissions.

 

If everything is fine there, attempt this:

 

-Start, Run, Regedit and go to key:

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup

-Edit, New, Multi-String Value, name it.

-Double-click and enter path F: for the CD-ROM to protect and OK.

-Repeat the whole process for the G: drive.

 

You could also turn off system restore for hard disk drives in System Restore tab in System Properties but that is none too safe.

You could try swapping the drive-letters back (in Computer Management -> Disk Management right-click the drive and select "Change drive letter and paths...")
