Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any advice. I recently bought 2
SATA Lite-On DVDRW LH-20A1L SCSI CD rom Drives. I installed them and I

core. Everything worked fine before I installed them. Is there
anything specific I should check.
There is something critical missing from your posting.

What DVD burner package are you using ?

AFAIK, WinXP doesn't burn DVD's as part of the OS.
I think the only built-in burning feature is for some kind of CD format.
(IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service.) For DVD, you'll need a separate program.

When I buy a drive (which isn't often), I look for one that
includes a bundled burning program. My last drive had some
version of Nero on it.

I use the burning features that are built in with Winamp and Windows
media player, I also have nero untla 7 edition

I had a problem with Nero, but is was caused by using a software that
mounted ISO images. It was like a virtual CD software. The burner would
freeze soon after the burn started. Disabling the virtual CD feature
fixed that.

What would happen, if you uninstalled the burning software, and then
reinstalled it ?
