Hi, Amber.
This happened to me last month. It took a LOT of digging, but I finally
solved it by UNinstalling InCD from Nero.
I dual-boot several Windows installations - both x86 and x64 versions of
WinXP Pro and several Vista beta builds. Only WinXP x86 (Microsoft-speak
for 32-bit, now that x64 has arrived) had the problem; I could still boot
into other OSes. I had just bought a new LG DVD burner and was adding it to
my system, which already included a year-old Pioneer DVD burner. When I
first installed the hardware, everything still worked. But after I
installed the software from the CD that LG provided with the drive, I got
the symptoms you describe, but only when I had both burners plugged in and
only in WinXP. MANY reboots later with various combinations of drives,
cables, etc., I removed (from Add/Remove Programs) InCD - and I've had no
such problems in the past month.
I have to run now, but please post back if this works for you - or if you
find a better solution.
