I've had problems when installing NI driver discs on a PXI chassis (Win2K) using a USB cd drive. It seems the windows autoplay feature causes problems, though I've never been not able to open the drive. Usually after I swap CDs, the installation just hangs and I have to eject the CD, then close it again while holding the Shift key down. Holding the Shift key while inserting a CD temporarily disables the autoplay feature and the installer then finds the new CD and continues.
Not exactly the problem you're having, but it might be worth checking. Ed -------------------------------------------------------- Edwin O.

Thanks to NI's mix up mine finally got here. I tried upgrading yesterday and was unable to complete the task!? When the installer got to insert Driver Disc 2 my CD never turned off, and the eject button or eject click wouldn't work! Has any one else had this problem? NI acted like they'd never heard of it! I still have an open service number with NI, but have been too busy today to attempt another upgrade... I finally gave up and CTRL-ALT-DEL!?... I'm running XP SP1a...
