Ill try swapping the dvd & burner around.
Until then-
IMAPI service is disabled.
AIN is disabled. Im not running anything else like the creative disc detector thingo.
Using Verbatim 80min media certified up to 16x
I have a 80min cd that came with the liteon- same problem.
Kodak 74min media (gold+silver ones) - same problem.
Ill go back to the default IDe drivers for XP, and see if I can uninstall the burner upgrade for XP
Thanks for all the help so far btw. Once I get this problem under my thumb its my shout down the pub.
