DVDRW drive won't release image of previous disk

As in the subject, my DVDRW drive, which is the slave drive (the CDROM drive
has just packed up!) won't release the image of the previous disk - how do I
fix this?

thanks

You mean it has "cached" the directory? Reboot with nothing in the drive
yet?

Fixed - used the Autoplay Repair tool from here:

Unfortunately while it also fixed the CDROM drive as well, it's reversed the
drive letters - but I can live with that!

Just switch them back in Disk Management.
