Background
I have a multi purpose optical drive for DVDs and Compact Discs capable of burning and reading discs. It is a Maxtor 6y080p0 ATA device. I am running Vista Ultimate 32 bit.
The Problem
It works fine whenever I put blank CDs in it but whenever I put blank DVDs in it my computer freezes up. It works fine when DVD movies and audio CDs are played on it but whenever there is a blank DVD disc in it my computer will just freeze and stop responding.
The Prompt
Any ideas of the cause? And how to correct it?
Notes
I used to have Windows XP on my computer before I switched to Vista. I did a fresh, destructive install of vista. I have had this problem even when I had Windows XP. If there is any other info needed, I will be happy to provide it.
