Vista - any CD in my drive wants to burn.....

Im having an issue where i put a cd into the drive and when i open my
computer to open the disc in explorer it wants to label the disc. Vista
thinks it is blank or is writable when it isnt.

How do i shut this feature off or get into my cdrom drive.

As a work around i have been copying the contacts remotely to from another
machine.

I am having the smae issue with Vista Business 32 bit on my Dell Latitude D820.
hopefully somebody has a suggestion.

I am a trouble shooter for our Computer Club. I have had a couple of
instances when setting up a Dell computer. When an installation CD was
placed in the drive carrier and closed. Nothing. If one clicked on the drive
in Windows Explorer, the drive would kick open stating that the disc wasn't
formatted. Dell replaced both following a phone call.
