Since it takes a reboot to get things going again I'd look at a
software conflict. But you could still check the cables, jumpers, etc.
Maybe put it on a different IDE channel or switch the master/slave
roles. You might even check if your burner has a bios upgrade.
Back to the software, I saw something similar with my brother's
computer. His burner worked ok, but after he installed Nero it did
something similar to what you described. I did a search and found a
reference to removing "InCD" (part of Nero software). That fixed it.
Also, when I unistalled/reinstalled Nero I left out as much as the
extra crap as I could.
Here's a link that covers some Win2k /CDR stuff..like ASPI, DirectCD
conflicts, etc
