Well... not a total sucess story, but much better. Its been 2 days my system has been up for, and I've burnt 4 DVD-Rs without problems. Everything seems to be working again - plus I now get great transfer rates on all my optical drives (Bonus!)
The bad news, its has hung 3 times in the last few hours. Everytime its been the same thing. I put in a "pressed" DVD movie into the Sony drive, the drive LED comes on for a second, then the IDE activity light on the tower stays on, and WinXP is locked up - not even the 3 finger salute works. Make that 4 times now...
When I press the eject button, the tray comes out and ejects the disc, but the system is still locked up and the IDE activity light just stays on steady. I have to perform a hard reset.
Help, I'm at wits end - what now, how come its so many different symptoms?!
