Hi,
Just wondering whether anyone has experience issue with DVD writer
disappearing from Vista RC1 after rebooting. I have a Pioneer 111D installed
with a Liteon CD/DVD combo. When I restart my PC, either from a cold or warm
reboot, Vista can see my Liteon drive but not by Pioneer DVD writer. However,
If I go into DEVICE MANAGER and perform a SCAN FOR NEW HARDWARE, the Pioneer
DVD writer appears and seems to be working well. However, I have to perform
this action everytime I reboot my PC (that is, the Pioneer DVD writer does
not want to 'stick'). How can this be resolved?

Thanks in advance
