DW316 DVD RW Drive - reading files on CD
I just purchased the Dell DW316 DVD RW drive and I'm connecting it to my Dell XPS 13 laptop running Windows 11.
As soon as I insert a CD it looks like my only option is to burn the CD. Well I want to open the files on my CD and in the future probably install some software. Obviously if I burn or format the CD, I lose everything on the CD.
I then inserted a blank CD and formatted the CD which appears to have worked.
A CyberLink Media Suite 12 came with the drive. Do I need to load and install the programs off the CyberLink CD so I can read CD? How would I do that if the drive always wants to burn the CD ?

You can open and configure the Control Panel options as follows:
Now check if you have an option to select Open Folder to view files for CDs/DVDs.
