    From COMP: The DVD+-RW Drive Won't forget CD-RW Archived Disk's Contents!

    I’m having a very odd problem here with my DVD+-RW Drive. Here’s what happens:

    (1) I place any archived CD-RW disk in the drive
    (2) The usual thing happens... A message box appears and the names of the folders on the drive whiz by until it is ready to be opened.
    (3) I open the drive ant the contents are all there and can be copied to my HD.
    (4) When I’m done I eject the disk.

    Here’s where the fun begins: Whenever I then place another different CD-RW the message box immediately appears (no names whiz by or anything like that). Then when I open the drive from the My Computer folder; the names folders of the last CD-RW disk I had put in are still there!

    The DVD+-RW Drive Won't forget last CD-RW Archived Disk's Contents!

    This keeps happening over and over; with any other (entirely different) disks that I subsequently put into the drive. Until I remove the disk from the drive. At that point (or sometime shortly thereafter) the computer sometimes blue screens and crashes - and sometimes it doesn't crash. When I restart the computer the same things happen; if I insert a 'different' CDRW disk, it remembers that disks contents. Very frustrating.

    Note: Drive name and number is PHILIPS DVD+-RW (DVD8701)

    Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer here!
