Hi all

Please help



Every time I insert a CD or DVD into ether my Sony or Pioneer DVD ROM drives
and if I am in windows explorer at the time it locks up explorer as soon as
the drive attempts to read the disk it stays locked up until I eject the CD
from the drive.



I have tried changing the drives from DMA to PIO with no luck

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drives with no
luck

I have changed there position in the case with no luck



I have totally removed the Sony drive from my pc and installed the Pioneer
drive on its own on the second ide slot with no luck I have also installed
just the Sony drive and still no luck.



At the moment I am unable to read any CD or DVD at all.



I am totally lost please help

Hi all



Just to let you know I sorted it out.

I decided to check that I had uninstalled all CD and DVD writing programs

And yes I had mist one.

Cant remember what exactly the name of it was but it was something like

Veritas DLA

If I remember right I installed this for my sony DVD-R drive from a link on
the sony support web site



Thanks

David
