Thanks for the response. I haven't turned off AIN. Both the new
drive and the second disk drive (CD-RW) are being read correctly by
system. Just have this flakey problem with Windows (98 SE) not
recognizing when a volume has been ejected. Thanks again for response
and reference.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Update

Do you have a DWORD value named "UpdateMode"? If not, create it and set
it equal to "0". You need to restart Windows.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
