After having run rock stable in what seems like forever, my XP Pro suddenly died this morning. When trying to boot up my system it says that /windows/system32/config/system is deleted or damaged and it stops. I've tried booting under last stable setup and the same happens. Is there any way to repair this or am I screwed???

It still doesn't want to burn. I tried 3 different discs, so I guess that isn't the problem. http://chocoboy.pointclark.net/img/home/plextor3.jpg Admin edit:[/color:96a8f4f879] Its ok to use http:// as long as Automatically Parse URLs is unchecked when you make a new post/reply.

I've tried the uninstall-reboot thing. Didn't work. The driver info: http://chocoboy.pointclark.net/img/home/plextor.jpg

I've updated the firmware to 1.03 and now it shows as a plextor in bios, but still as cd-rom in windows. I made a clean windows install back when it was released and I justed popped the plextor in today...

I've changed it to master, nothing happened. Still a cd-rom drive... In the bios it detects as some kind of gibberish(random characters), but during boot it displays as a plextor...

Hi... Win XP detects my new Plextor 24x (IDE) writer as a cd-rom drive... Because of this I can't get the built-in cd-writing to work. Does anybody have some help or tricks to get to work.... PS. It's installed as slave on the 2nd controller....

That doesn't seem to do it, I'm afraid. Restarted 5 times now without touching anything. Still no result... Any other suggestions? ChocoBoy

Hi I'm having a small problem with the notification area. No matter how long time I don't use an icon there, it won't auto hide it... I have auto hide turned on, so that is not the problem. Does anybody how fix for this???? ChocoBoy
