Took your advice, Len and burned new firmware into the cd-
rw. Using some great info at
http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=55481
the burn worked like a charm. Now my 48maxx memorex is a
lite-on 52x with the very latest firmware!!
Nero likes it too. Drive speed is 52 or close enough, only
bad news is that windows xpsp2 still shows it as a cd-rom
even after uninstall, re-install, regedit, re-install sp2
etc.
So now more than ever, I know it's an XP software glitch
that keeps turning it back into cd-rom.
