Thanks for the reply.

Is this a CDR or a CDRW? If you burned your CDRWs in a UDF format, you will
need a UDF reader installed on your PC (or on every CDRW you burned that
way) to get them to read. My guess is that you had this software installed
on your PC before, and now that you've reinstalled you need to reload it.
Roxio DirectCD or Nero InCD will do nicely.
The problem exists with either CDR or CDRWs. There is no
problem with pre-recorded CDs, only with recordable disks.
Further, the installation of Win2K is virgin, that is
complete reformat, installation and update to SP4. The
previous software was win98se with no burning software
installed. The only applications that have been installed
are Microsoft Office 2000 Pro. The motherboard (Asus A7V)
has the latest chipset drivers and there is no indication
of strange things in Device Manager. I can't load Roxio as
it's a downloaded version on a CDR.... (round in circles
we go
)
To me, this looks like a similar problem that existed in
WinNT except that in WinNT the result was a bsod.
Ah well, maybe someone has the key to all this.
