Relisys DVD ROM problem...

[Rooster]

Since fitting a new Relisys DVD (16x) I've got an odd problem... majority of the time it wont give me my disks back !!! i.e., press eject and it just sits there, LED flashing away ! I can still read the disk in the drive, and if I send an eject command from "my computer" it will eject after a few seconds... But press the button, and it either doesn't eject at all (see above) or ejects about 1cm, then retracts again or very rarely, ejects normally !!
If I stop the PC before the OS loads, it works fine - so I guess the drive is ok, and its on the same cable as my writer, which works ok (YES thejumpers ARE set right !!)
Any ideas please ?
Thanks

PS. Just tried the drive in an "ME" PC and its fine ! So its gotta be XP !

As mentioned above... the drive is ok !! it works fine in another OS, AND I have asked this question in the newsgroups and there have been a couple of "mine does this as well" replies... but no solution ! I have rang Relisys, but their techi is away until Friday - so hopefully I will know more then .... unless there is someone out there who can help ????

Seen this with a Philips cd writer, ended up swapping master and slave around. Cured it (just dont ask why)

hmm what problem do u have with the philips cdrw?
beacuse i noticed im having a problem where sometimes, the cdwriter can just power off
like i could have copied 3 cds, and then when i put my 4 th cdi n, it flashes and then dies.... i can still eject but XP itself cannot read the cd .... until i reboot the machine

Spoke to Relisys tech guy last week, who promised a firmware upgrade "available by the end of Friday the 21st... "
Well I cant see it on the web site... !!!
If it aint working right soon, they are having it back !
