I did a search and came up with a couple of hits that were close, but didn't resolve the problem.

All drives work fine except with EMC8, BravoII, or Premiere Pro 2.0.

With EMC8, if I go to home, it indicates that there are no valid drives. If I try Disc Copy, no drives show up.

If I right click on one of the drives, and select Copy with Disc Copier, I get a message that states "Invalid Command E:\" (E: is one of my burners).

What is strange is that everything was working fine a couple of weeks ago. I have not loaded any new software or hardware, so I am really stumped!

I have updated all the drivers and firmware updates, but to no avail. I even tried beermans regedit thing, but that didn't work either.

Any ideas?

First of all one doesn't update drivers for optical drives! They come with the operating system and are sufficient the way they are no updating needed.
Are the drives seen in my computer and device manager? Are there any yellow exclamation marks by the drives in device manager? Can you play a audio cd in wmp?

Last please explain Beermans redgit thing!

On the regedit, Upper and Lower filters, I would bet.

Have you tried uninstalling your secondary IDE controller in Device Manager, then reboot?

I did try that one and I get a error indicating "Can't write to current directory", so I can get it installed.

Hmmm... If that doesn't work, will I need to reinstall it? Sorry, that goes a bit over my head in terms of the ramifications of uninstalling controllers.

Patients appreciated.

Brad

No problem and easy. Right click my computer, click properties. Choose Hardware tab , Device Manager. Then look for   ata/atapi controllers. Click the + next to it, Right click the secondary IDE channel a then click uninstall. Reboot and Windows will reinstall and the recheck it!

Do a clean uninstall reinstall, making sure they work after the uninstall.
Do add or remove from control panel first on Roxiox 8 products, then below.

Delete these folders if they exsist:
C:\program files\roxio
c:\program files\sonic
c:\program files\common files\roxio shared
c:\program files\common files\sonic shared
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Roxio
C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Roxio
C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Local Settings\Application Data\Roxio

Also remove any IE cookies with Roxio or Sonic in this folder:
c:\documents and settings\username\cookies

Then use a registry cleaner to remove any entries that may refer to the removed applications. THEN REBOOT and reinstall EMC 8.

RegSeeker 1.52: http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm
Have it search Roxio Sonic.
