I am guessing E: drive is your drive that its in....

autorun.inf in your E: drive is nothing more than a plain text file that tells windows what to auto run.


Open it with notepad it should look something like this
Code:
[autorun]
open=setup.exe
icon=icon.ico
The only important line to look at is:
open=setup.exe

it might be named something else besides setup.exe
could be
open=install.exe

but lets say its named setup.exe

Just open up your E: drive and find the file named setup.exe (would be named setup if you do not have show file extensions on)
and run it.

The Problem
you or someone else must have turned auto run off for your drive

The Solution
If you are on windows xp
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ertoySetup.exe
download install, than run it
In TweakUI do the following...
My computer -> Auto play -> Click drives ya want it to work on...
