DLA = Drive Letter Access
It is a driver that allows Windows to be able to write files to the
CD-RW (or DVD-RW) as if it were a regular disk drive. This is different
than the typical method of building a 'package' of files to write and
then burning the disk in one session.
I've never found a use for DLA. Aryeh's thinking is probably that DLA
drivers are fairly complex and could possibly be causing your issues.
It is worth a shot. Boot into Safe Mode and look in the Add/Remove
Programs section or under device drivers to see if there is any CD
burning software installed and uninstall it.
I assume if you remove the drive and boot up, Windows will load fine?
What happens if you hot-install the drive after Windows boots? Does it
immediately freeze or do things work?

Hi
Im not sure what the Roxio DLA software is, except some burning or burner tools.
I couldnt see anything. I havent installed anything.
I am not overly bothered about burning capabilties, it was just a spare drive I
had, more because it can read DVDs and the original drive wouldnt read much and
was slow.
It is more frustrating than anything else.

Hello,
I have not heard of this happening before, but I am wondering if the
Windows XP installation has the Roxio DLA software installed with it?
If so, perhaps uninstalling it will resolve the problem.
Regards,
Aryeh Goretsky
