Whenever I insert a defective disc, I have major problems and have to
use the power switch. For instance, yesterday I was installing data
from a 5-DVD set. The fourth one must be defective - the usual stuff
doesn't come up when I insert the disc. If I go to MyComputer the
drive doesn't show the name of the disc. If I right click on it,
nothing comes up and Explorer "quits responding". Then nothing will
work. I can bring up some things such as shutdown, but it won't
shutdown. I have to turn the power off. This happened three or four
times with that disc - the others were OK.
I've always had major problems in Windows XP when a disc is defective,
for instance when trying to write to one.
Is there something I can do to prevent this type of lockup from
happening or is it a bug in Windows?
