When I insert a CD in my DVD drive, my system hangs. No fatal errors, but mouse stops moving. When I press the eject button it takes 2-3 attempts to eject the CD and when it's ejected the system is fine again. DVD is master & CD-RW is slave, which has no problems.
This is the 1st time this happened.
1st time this happened is when I partitioned my 80GB HD [DVD became "L: drive"] and tweaked the OS. I couldn't figure it out so I restage the system, no tweaks, and it fixed the problem.
2nd time [now], I just added a new IDE controller & 20GB HD. I put my 80GB HD on the new controllers IDE1 and the 20GB HD on IDE2, both as masters
OnBoard IDE1-Master=Zip drive
OnBoard IDE2-Master=DVD drive & Slave=CD-RW
Now DVD drive is "N: drive"
DMA is enabled when it was working fine and it is still currently enabled.
Dell Dimension XPS B 1000r
512MB RDRAM
Win98SE
DVD=NEC DV-5700A 12x
CD-RW=Yamaha CRW2200E
Maxtor 80GB HD
Maxtor 20GB HD
Maxtor IDE controller (add-in)
-I haven't cleaned the drive yet (I'm going to try that tomorrow - as soon as I can get to the store =))
-I'm downloading the latest firmware 3.43
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!
