Hi everyone,
 
I'm hoping someone here can help me with continued problems with my CDROMs
since upgrading to XP Pro.
 
My 8x4x32 Iomega CDRW drive is on IDE2, Master
My 52x LG CDROM is on IDE2, Slave
 
Alright..let the explanations begin!
 
My CDRW burns at half the speed that I tell it to. I've used Nero and Roxio
and I tell both to burn at 8x but the time taken is double than it should be
so its only burning at 4x.
 
My CDROM is another issue altogether. When inserting a CD, my mouse cursor
doesn't flash the little CD icon beside it to say that my CDROM is accessing
a disc. Most of the time, after inserting a CD, my PC freezes for about
15-20 seconds, and then it starts responding again, just in time to hear my
CDROM spinning up to read the CD.
 
These errors show in my Event Log and I'm copying everything I think is
related ..

I've noticed also that my CDROM sometimes makes a strange...noise...while
reading a disc. Its hard to describe...a high pitch wobbly sound that breaks
while the laser scans the disc.
 
Anyways, someone please help. Thank you!
