The 31st of this month, an insurance company I've been involved with for the last 16 years is turning off the lights and locking the door. I was full time for 12 years, and have worked there off and on for the last couple of years liquidating the company. (Liquidating an insurance company is not as simple as a retail or service business).
In the process, I recently "liberated" one of the computers to use in my shop for keeping track of labor times and parts purchases when I do customer work.
The unit has been wiped of everything but Windows XP. I intend to install my copy of Office XP for my purposes. I don't intend to go online from my shop. The snag is, the unit has 6 USB ports but no CD drive. I bought an el cheapo external CD drive that's "plug and play" through a USB port in order to install software. The computer recognizes the external drive, but when I insert a CD, I get a pop-up that says "Insert disk in Drive D" after I insert the disk.
From a link in the instructions, I downloaded a "Self Fix" program from my office computer onto a flash drive and ran it on the shop computer, but it didn't change anything.
I'm wondering if I overlooked something, or if I got a bad CD drive.
