Bug Description

Binary package hint: grub-pc

After using Grub-2 (and the earlier version, for that matter) to boot Windows XP, the CD/DVD drive is not available. (No indication of the drive is visible in "My Computer.") The same drive works fine in Jaunty. The problem exists when both chainloading Grub2 and with Grub2 installed on the MBR.

I have previously used lilo to boot this computer, and the drive was available after using that bootloader.

The computer is a Clevo M57U laptop running Ubuntu 9.04.
Grub-pc version: 1.96+20080724-12ubuntu2 (installed for testing prior to Karmic upgrade)
