Having an issue with old game CDs

[Tuxflop]

My computer will recognize that a game CD (Hot Wheels: Stunt Track Driver from 1998) is in the disk drive. It'll give me a notification like usual, but running the game itself just results in a "please insert disk" screen. This happens with this game as well as its sequel, so I imagine it's for most if not all disks. I have Windows 10.

I asked around on Reddit, and I found that I do have a D: drive, I just totally missed it in the disk management window. Stunt Track Driver however, and any other CD I put into the disk tray, puts itself into its own separate drive at the bottom, here.

I noticed that H:, the drive my PC was using before, is Disk 4. So it's still there, it just won't use it, for some reason...?

for disk 1 change the driver letter and remove it. Then it should be available. Then put your optical drive as d becauser d will be available. I have no idea what those disks are. Looks like usually a media card reader with four or more card slots would look. No idea if anything is dependent on those disks but doubt it. Hopefully you don't break something else messing with that.

Hey, good news, I got it to work. I tried setting my CD-ROM disk to D:, but that didn't work. I then tried to set it to H: as it was before, and the game now launches perfectly fine.
Not sure why D: isn't working, but it just seems to me like either my computer or the game uses H: instead for CD-ROMs. Thanks for helping me on this.
