(5) Error reading Inquiry Data for devices.

[DarkMagic]

Kayleigh, thanks for your response and the link. Following is the text from the EnumCD scan. I don't see anything wrong... do you? Many thanks for your help. I didn't expect to see any problem because no other program including Nero and Soundforge have any problem writing or reading cd/dvds, so windoz must be feeding them correctly.

I have two other ideas to share:

1) Perhaps, since I used the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to move all my files to this new computer, it may have moved some common files or registry settings having to do with MTU and the OLD drives on the OLD computer, that are conflicting with my new install on this new computer.

2) I had a system boot failure that was solved by Microsoft Tech Support, but it required a manual roll back of several days.

Perhaps the registry or some common files are messed up by this rollback and not indicating what MTU is lexpecting. Perhaps if there's a way (other than uninstall/reinstall, which I've already tried) to manually check certain settings and files, the problem could be solved.

Anyway, follows is the EnumCD scan...
