WinXP hanging?

Hi

This is driving me mad - WinXP Pro is developing a nasty
habit of hanging when I try and insert a Bulkpaq Orange
DVD that contains data. This has also happened (very
rarely) on commercial discs (Mafia is an example), and
also on my WinXP disc, again rarely.

I have no idea what the problem is - I have also started
to suffer from Windows File Protection requests, which
may be related.

I'm at a total loss, and don't have any ideas. Can
anybody shed some light on this?
 
It could be that you are running into a DVD version problem. Some
disks are RW+ and some are RW- and it could be that your drive doesn't
like one or the other.

have you looked to see if the DVD drive has any firmware updates?

As a last resort, you could logically uninstall the drive in Windows
Hardware manager, reboot then have XP find it again. If you do this,
make sure you have the latest driver from your DVD manufacture (if
they have any available) available.

You know the rules, before you start uninstalling drives and drivers,
have a good backup of your data too!
