Hi Ganesh!

I also encountered the same problem with CD-ROM drive.

Then, I have re-installed the system as a new one and the problem got solved.  Because I have no data or applications on the system, which I am just evaluating, it was possible.

You may better wait for PCQ edition. Otherwise, take a backup of your entire data & dapplications; then re-install the system.

Bye !
