I agree. Everybody here (like 250 people) have both CDRW and DVD drives
all working perfectly.
We mostly use HP computers, perhaps it's a DELL problem?
My computer is a home-built, and works fine. The fact that the DVD
drive in David Fenton's client's problematic computer didn't work under
Win2000, even after loading the drivers from Dell, leads me to believe
it's the drive, not the OS.
But of course, we weren't there trying to make things work and so this
is only conjecture.
But my son's Compaq with WinXP, my daughter's Northgate with WinXP, my
homebuilt which started as Win98, moved to Win98se, then finally to
WinXP, my notebook with WinXP all work fine with absolutely no problems
with optical drives. Nor any other drives, either.
