Something that's been going on since at least version 10.x...  I can reproduce this EVERY time.  I place a blank CD in the G (CD-burner) drive and the Windows window pops up asking me what I want to do.  I say nothing and continue.  

I then select Burn CD or DVD and start Dragging-and-Dropping files to the burn queue.  MC then freezes while the HDD light bilnks on and off about once a second.  Depending on the size of the file it will stay frozen until it's finished doing what it's doing.  This will happen for EVERY track that I select, and also when I am just scrolling through my library.  I can see that when I place a Playlist in the queue to burn the dialog of "Analyzing Devices" comes up and MC is frozen until it's done doing that.  If I eject the blank CD then MC returns to normal and everything is fine until I put the blank CD back in.  

I have Norton AV 2004 running and tried disabling the AutoProtect feature but it didn't seem to help.  Can someone help?  I have been using Nero to make my Audio CD's but I would really like to be able to use MC.  Thanks!

UPDATE:  I switched the burning drive that have been using to my new DVD burner (drive F) and the problem goes away.  I've burned 3 diff CD's and neither hide nor hair of the problem.  So maybe a hardware issue with the Lite-On?  Or some kind of software conflict?  Only thing I can think of is that the Lite-On is the Secondary Slave and the DVD Burner is the Secondary Master.  Any suggestions?
