That would be a drive problem NOT windows or MS.

Would it? Sounds more like a media problem to me. Shouldn't both the
drive and the OS be able to deal with that gracefully?

I actually have another occasional problem with this drive. Sometimes
after burning a CD using Nero, the process gets stuck at last stage
before verification. The drive makes scraping noises and I have to kill
Nero. The drive continues to make noises and won't eject the disc until
I reboot. The CD burn is always OK on later inspection.

I'm wondering now if this is related to my DMA/PIO problem. If it
happens again, I'll be paying attention.
