Umm, which drive are you talking about? A DVD/CD drive? Or a Hard Disk Partition? Because if it's the latter, you might have a virus.

If it's about a DVD/CD drive, here's how to disable autorun altogether on Windows XP:-
1>Go to Start>Run> type in "gpedit.msc" without the quotes and press enter.
2>Expand Administrative templates by clicking on the little plus/arrow next to it.
3>In the bunch of folders that dropped down, find out "System" and click on it.
4>In the right side pane, find out the entry called Turn off Autoplay and double click it.
5>Check the "Enabled" radio button. Select "All drives" from the drop down list below the radio button. Click on OK.
6>Reboot the PC.

sorry,, I haven't mentioned cd drive or hard disk. autoplay problem is in hard disk.

Show hidden files and folder from folder option.
Delete autorun.inf and recycler from all Drives. Reboot.
Do it in safe mode.

^^^^ Using gpedit or ny either of thos s/w you can prevent ny drives from autoplaying.....

If u want to keep autorun on some of the drives and off for other drives using TweakUI or Tuneup is recommendable. There you can choose particular drives from getting autoruned.......

You're infected with Autorun.inf kind virus, use Noob Killer and do an X-8 Kill all to get healed, search in google for the software...
