Both cdrom and DVD-RW are having REAL problems reading
discs since SP-2 went in. I notice a lot of people are
reporting the same problem... insert a DVD or CD and "My
Computer" reports the index of a disc that it has read at
some time in the past! Refreshing does nothing. I have
found myself having to log off and log back in again. Not
good enough. I have spent hours removing and reinstalling
drives, checking DMA is on etc. etc. One DVD+RW now
appears to have lost my backed up files, but by using 3rd
party sftware I can see the files but can't reach them!
My question is..... if I remove SP-2 for the time being
till MS fix it up am I going to cause any problems to my
system, can SP-2 be reliably removed?
