Hi there,
I have 2 SATA Raptor drives in a striped raid. They seem to work ok
with my
LG DVD writer. Can you explain what you mean by "lock up" your optical
drives as I'm not sure quite what you mean. SATA drives come with a
driver
which is not usually the case with PATA drives. My question is did you
install the forementioned driver?

Ok I recently installed a Western Digital sata drive (Raptor
10,000rpm)
since then I have found that my cd and dvd rom drives will lock up. I
have genuine windows XP home.
I downloaded sissoftware sandra but it didn't help, mind you I didn't
understand any of it.
If anyone has any ideas I you love to hear them.

WHAT DRIVER! I didn't get one. I bought it new from Ebuyer as it was a
good price £120 but was suprised that it didn't come in it's own
packageing and no instructions,looked up Western Digital but found no
mention of a driver. The drive it self works great but when I try to
run a disk in either of my cd or dvd rom it seams to lock the computer
up, the disk carries on spinning in the drive but my screen and mouse,
keyboard lock and I have to switch off the comp and the button.
