Berry, I have replaced both drives with different ones. Switched cables,
changed from CS to master/slave, removed one so only one was connected,
change transfer mode to pio. As soon as I turn off autorun they both work
without any problems.

Richard, I had the same problem. It turned out to be a flaky cd burner
which I had to replace. So, one or both of your
writers could be flaky.

I have an HP d530c system running Win XP SP2 which will hang 8 times out
of
10 when a CD or DVD is inserted. Running DVD and CD writers. Have changed
all
drives/cables/DMA settings. If autorun is disabled in registry system
works
fine. Any ideas?
