Yes, I saw that article, but since it only refers to CD burners I
didn't change that registry entry.

Tried out the Nero Info tool. Everything is shown as I'd expect, both
drives as burners.

And Paul, thanks for your extensive input. The drivers are MS, and
searching the MS site comes up with no later versions of them. Will
plough through your suggestions. It does seem to me that any programs
with many installed copies in use every day, like AdAware & CA
antivirus would have produced a considerable amount of squawking by
now if they were conflicting with SP2.

I'll work through all suggestions, I do have a new, spare 160Gig drive
so I can try a clean install on that and see how it turns out.

Thanks,

David
