Rob No burning software installed.
XP boots fine without drive installed. If I slot the drive in after boot up then the ThinkPad just bleeps at me. It doesnt detect or install the drive.

UDJA750 Problems Author: Rob Bell <[email protected]> Date: 25th June 2010 12:56 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?
