Good evening khlauster...

Upgraded in what way? Changed from one model to a different one?

Agreed, with nobus. Certainly sounds like a hardware malfunction of that drive. I don't think that anything in XP would be causing the symptoms you are describing. There are no drivers or firmware to update - it's just a CD-R(W) drive.

But to totally rule that out, put it into a different system, and see what it does. If it exhibits the same symptoms - bingo, it's the drive. If not, then... well, let us know. :-)

Using Safe Mode, uninstall the CD drive(s) that appear in Device manager. Reboot. Allow Windows to redetect the drive. T
