Andrew

I have particular problems at the moment.  I upgraded the PC from a 8x
Creative CDROM to a 24x Pioneer and get the same sort of seek that you
are describing.

This seems to be very dependant on the CD's in the drive tho.  With some
cd's the faster drive makes an immense improvement on seek and transfer
rates, but on others, to actually get software to recognise the CD I
have to eject and re-insert the CD.

I'm still trying to resolve the problems, so unfortunately I don't have
an answer for you, but if you happen to find one before I do, please
drop me an email and let me know.

Cheers

Buns
