    Post Freeze on Burning

    Asus P5 A-B mobo,
    K6/2 3d 500Mhz,
    128mg of Ram,
    WD 40gig HDD,& WD 10gig HDD,
    Lite On 24xCDWR,(Nero software) and 48xCDRom

    I just upgraded to 40gig HDD and put Lite-On 24xCDWR to this machine. The machine was working fine with 10gig WD HDD and Yamaha 4XCDWR.
    I was able to burn only 2 cds after the upgrade. One was from cpy to cpy and another one through HDD. Now computer will freeze on me everytime I try to burn CDs. It wont respond until I restart it. Lite on 24x burner works fine as I was using it with other computer. Its a great CD-burner.
    The computer will only recognise and the following IDE arrangement during the POST start up.

    Primary Master--WD 40gig HDD
    Primary slave--CDWR
    Secondary Master--WD 10gigHDD
    Secondary Slave--CDrom.

    I try to swap around IDE arrangement without luck.
    Please help me.

    What exactly happens when you try a different IDE configuration. Are all IDE devices detected by BIOS?

    The Primary master and slave are not detected at all in the BIOS when I tried other IDE configs.

    Jumpers on HDD/CDs are fine. As I said before, the computer is working fine, It only stall/freeze when I burn cds.

    Try disabling the shell integrated burning if you are using XP
