Well Sam

I have let the plextors run for in excess of three minutes...the drives will periodically spin up during this time but never display a blinking led....if I open the Windows task manager it will show hoster as not responding and if I check Windows Event viewer after the lock-up and reboot.........Start>R click My Computer>L click Manage>L click Event Viewer>Double L Click Application then Double L click the RED X it reads as follows from the last instance last night:


Hanging application Hoster.exe, version 3.3.1.0, hang module hung app, version 0.0.0.0. hang address 0x00000000

The Lite-On drives will spin.... led's will start to blink and they will load the tracks in the window in 10-15 seconds.


Keep in mind this same course of events is occurring on TWO SEPARATE computers and their only commonality is the Hoster program and the plextor drives, and both worked perfectly b4 the Hoster upgrade.
