I know that Drag to Disc is interfering with all of my disc drives. I have 5 computers and all are affected the same way. When no EMC is present they work fine. I have tried to custom install and leave Drag to Disc out and it still installs, and to disable it, (well you can forget it). I cannot disable or stop it from taking over the Disc Drives. I cannot play Audio CD's, DVD Movies, load or install programs because Drag to Disc restrains the Drives and strangles them. If I cannot get any reasonable solution to this problem, Roxio and Sonic will lose me as a Customer. (I know that is no big loss for them, because I am one voice, one vote. Signed Billy

It's possible there are remnants of D2D left after an earlier installation. I have installed it on many occasions and succeeded in stopping D2D from cropping up.
That said, it shouldn't 'grab' any drive unless you have a formatted disc installed.

However, try the clean install procedure and then do the custom install after

I know it says EMC9/10 but it should work

Just as a FYI - D2D was dropped after EMC9
If it ain't broke, fiddle with it until it breaks, then fiddle with it until you get it fixed

Oh it isn’t really that hard…

Start – All Programs – Start Up – delete Drag to Disc.

Next time you boot, it will no longer run.

Or Add/Remove Programs and use Modify to remove it:

This is from V7 but it works the same up through V9
