Going to try to boot into Windows from Linux.   That still is a hit and a miss.  :(

 If I make it, I will try and report soon.
If not, I will try from a new boot tomorrow morning and report same.

I am listening/watching the DVD. I didn't have any trouble bringing it up.....I just had to find it by going to my computer and finding that drive.

Also the music CD I heard the other day......just comes up automatically playing.  I didn't do a thing.

But I can't or don't know what to do to get the picture disk.

In computer's resource (or whatever it's translated in English), you should find the CD/DVD unit icon, clicking on the icon you should see the content of the picture CD, then clicking on some file the related application should open.

I'm looking in the Control Panel but don't think that is the right place as I don't see any picture of CD icon

Sorry, it should be named "My Computer", on XP desktop.

OK, When I put the DVD that I just watched in, I went to My Computer and there saw the D drive. I clicked on it and saw the contents of that disk and played it.

I did the same thing when I put the picture disk in.  But it show nothing inside.  I tried 2 separate disks that have pictures on and neither comes up with anything on it. I Right Click and choose Open, but there is nothing there.

Is it enough accurate to say that you aren't able to see the content of 2 disk using windows ?
(and of course you know for sure that the discs do have some content.)

And it came up immediately.

OK, mark it to be tested the next time on Linux. (the same disk).

Mostly I would like to know if you are experiencing the the same issue using the same disks on both O.Ses.

OK, be sure to not put 2 disks into the unit at the same time.  ;D (I have done that too)  :D

Maybe I don't know where to find the picture disk in Linux?
Maybe I don't know where to find the DVD disk in Linux?

I found the music one once...but then later it didn't work.
Will try again tomorrow in Linux.  I don't think I put them wrong side up....but I might have.
Thanks for your time.  ;D

Back in Linux this morning and put the music disk in.  Up comes the notifier and I play the songs with the VCL player.  :)

I put the picture disk in and look at the pictures.  :)

I put the DVD in and look at the DVD.  :)

What can I say?  What ever there is to be said, I am pretty sure just19 will say it for me.   ::)
(AS is too polite!)   ;D

Not marking solved yet because not really sure what was done to solve it.   ???
I will wait until I can do it 3 times in a row.
