Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

Hi
Did you try going to system propertys and then Device manager and right
click on that drive and click on uninstall. then rebbot and let windows
reinstall it.
Hope this helps.

someone last week posted a note about some issues with his cd drive and the same symptoms you're having. the solution was to uninstall the udf packet writing software from nero. it seems the nero bundled rw software is causing an issue
