Hey All,
I'm having a dickens of a time with burning DVDs since I installed Win2K SP3. The symptoms are as follows:
Using Nero 5.5.9.0 (or any other buring apps for that matter), the file cache works but the entire app freezes on actually accessing the DVD device. It locks hard. No other apps will run while this is happening. CPU usage is nill. Soft-booting won't work. I have to hit the reset switch to get control back. Here's the real kicker; it works perfectly if I attempt to burn a CD.
I had the same problem with XP so I switched back to 2K thinking it would solve the problem. Everything was peachy until SP3 came along. Whatever broke it in XP is now in SP3. I've tried downgrading the UDFS.sys file to the SP2 version with no luck. What I have discovered is that booting to safe mode will allow me to burn both CDs and DVDs. This smacks of a driver issue but damned if I can determine which one. Nothing has changed on my box except installing SP3. Has anyone seen or heard anything like this before?
SYSTEM STATS:
Asus A7M266-D
Dual Athlon 1900+MP
2gig Infineon DDR266 (4 sticks 512mb)
ATI Radeon 8500DV AGP (primary) Catalyst 2.2 drivers
Promise TX2-RAID (PCI64 slot 2) 2.0.25 drivers
Voodoo 3 (secondary - PCI slot 3) Omega 1.03B drivers
3COM 3C905B NIC (PCI slot 4) latest drivers (version unknown)
Asus USB 2.0 Card (PCI Slot 5) Asus 1.01 drivers
HP DVD100i DVD+RW firmware 1.37 (it was a GIFT!)
Panasonic LF-D310 DVD-RAM
2 WD 80gig special edition drives in RAID-0
1 WD 40gig Boot
1 WD 40gig Apps
Win2K SP3
AMD IDE Driver 1.43S
AMD AGP Driver 5.33
AMD Power Management Driver 1.22s
All this sits in a Koolance 602-B water-cooled case which is a thing of beauty.
Let me know if anyone out there can help with this problem.
