Upgrade to 10.04; still no CD/DVD drive[solved]

[Kenneth Koym]

Paul, can't follow this instruction w/o more; going from places>computer, I
find the following: computer:///750%20GB%20Hard%20Disk.drive
computer:///750%20GB%20Hard%20Disk-1.drive
computer:///CompactFlash%20Drive.drive
computer:///Floppy%20Drive.drive
computer:///MemoryStick%20Drive.drive
computer:///SecureDigital%20Drive.drive
computer:///SmartMedia%20Drive.drive
computer:///root.link
Apologies, have a meeting in minutes from now... Back later to try the work
around.
Ken
