After installing SP2 the CD Rom will not read/write and freezes the computer
for a while. Then the CDR will disapear from the MY Computer till I
reboot.

How do I fix this?

Try unplugging the computer and then unplugging the CDROM. Plug the
computer back in and boot up. Turn the computer off, unplug it again and
replug the CDROM. Turn the computer on and see if it recognizes the
"new" CDROM.

"In solving a problem of this sort, the grand thing is to be able to reason
backwards. That is a very useful accomplishment, and a
very easy one, but people do not practise it much. In the every-day affairs
of life it is more useful to reason forwards, and so
the other comes to be neglected. There are fifty who can reason
synthetically for one who can reason analytically." - Sherlock
Holmes
