I have tried to install aan HP DVD Writer, Pacific Digital
CD-R and Sony CRX230A CD-R/RW. They all work fine but
whenever I start Windows 200 SP3, I get a Found New
Hardware Mesage and Wizard comes up but can not load
Windows Installer and I have to cancel Wizard. Drives still
worked fine even after cancellation. I have spoken with HP
and Sony tech support and they have no ideas how to stop
it. HP thinks it is a Windows problem and Sony thought it
was a bad drive. I agree with HP because I have tried three
different drives. All Drives are brand new and there are no
rivers on the net for them. Any help out there?
