No.....I have never used TweakUI for XP, yes.....I do have a similar

I have no recollection of any tweaks for drive letters, but you do give me
food for thought and a few more avenues to check out.
Windows Explorer still sees either of the ROM drives as empty (Please insert
a disc into drive * :\ .....) after discs have been inserted.
There is no initial spin up for disc reading.
But, if I reboot the system with the inserted discs still in the drives,
there is read info spin up, then the discs and their contents appear in the
expanded Windows Explorer directory tree and are accessible as normal.
If the inserted discs are removed and replaced with different
ones..........Windows Explorer once again sees the drives as empty but the
directory tree retains all the info relating to the original discs till
another reboot.
Every other relevant program or utility on the system sees the ROM drives
and their content as normal. Imaging, audio, copy and burn all work fine.
Thanks for the reply post,
TerryS.
Okay, it wasn't clear before that Explorer is seeing the drives but not the
disks. That's a different story. Do you have third party burning software
installed? If yes, has it worked with these drives before?
In the past, burning programs supplied with drives would work with just
about any drive attached to the system. In recent years, I've seen those
OEM copies tweaked so that they only work with the drives that they shipped
with. "Unlocking" any other drives sometimes requires tweaking of the
installed software. Other times it requires that the old OEM software be
uninstalled and replaced with a full retail copy.
Third party software often turns off XP burning. Sometimes the two (XP and
the other program) can live in harmony and the user easily selects between
the two to burn. But if the two can't live in harmony, XP burning is turned
off and the third party software takes over instead.
It doesn't quite sound like you're facing third party vs XP burning but it
does sound like you could be facing the aftermath of removing third party
burning and XP burning hasn't been fully enabled again.
