I installed vista a few days ago (no i wasn't drunk). since then ive noticed that a dvd has to be in the drive when the computer starts or it isn't read. right now to burn a dvd i have to put in the dvd i want burned, reboot, burn an image to the hard drive, reboot, burn image from hard drive to disk, then reboot again if i want to test if it will play on the computer. this is quite a pain and im hoping someone can help me straighten it out. i updated the firmware on the drive to no avail. when i had xp i had no issues whatsoever. also it seems to take longer to burn the image than it did before the "upgrade". any ideas? other than get rid of vista, im tossing that thought around but want to leave it as a last resort.
