Any possibility that it's a problem with your CD burner? Check in device manager to see if it's still in DMA mode and didn't switch to PIO mode for some reason.

Hi Neil,
Many thanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately, switching to analog only made things yet more haywire, so I've gone back to digital.

Many thanks!
