Computer is setup in a dual boot configuration with Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP Pro. In Windows 2K the Verbatim CD-RW Drive works just fine reads any CD and burns with no problems. When I boot to XP, if there is a blank disk in the drive during boot, it will lock before getting to the login screen. If I place a CD in the drive after logging in, the system will freeze to the point that I have to cold boot the system. I have unsuccessfully searched the web for updated drivers for the drive.
Does anyone know of a website that may have Verbatim drivers for XP??
Or is there a way to disable XP from autodetecting blank CD's??
I want to be able to use the drive in XP so I can move away from the dual boot configuration.
