A while back I had a URL that gave hints and directions on how to clean a
CDROM drive, but now I am not able to locate it.  The reason for the need
for this is the following note that I just received from my son at college:

===============================
Apparently my cdrom drive is very, very dirty. The program to run my
cleaning CD [he has a CDROM cleaner kit that has worked in the past] is
located on the CD itself, and the drive doesn't recognize that (or any
other cd for the matter) Are there some alternatives that I can use to get
the dust out? Could it possibly be another problem? I can still open/close
it from menus in Windows, and it is still recognized by windows as working
properly.
================================

He has had problems with it getting dirty in the dorms before and cleaning
it has helped in the past.  Any URL's or suggestions?

TIA

Doug
