I only need atapicam for CD/DVD writting. OK, so the problem is in atapicam interaction somehow. > Whats the next move, do I take what you have said back to Thomas Quinot? Yes, Thomas is the way to go. If the problem(s) needs something specific to be changed/fixed in ATA then is the time to get back to me so it can be incorporated. Of course I'll answer questions as to how interaction with ATA should be handled along the way if need be, but I dont have the time nor motivation to dig into how/why/if atapicam works... -Søren
