Please stop me before I hurl an other keyboard across the room.... When
I orginially started this thread I said it was so I along with a group
of other SATA/IHC9/P35 owners could develop our *OWN PATCH*... how the
(*&(*& does it now get turned around that I am asking other people to do
my work for me.... if it wasn't for Xi Lin offering to do some patching
and me not wanting to step on his foot by doing duplicate work I would
probally be digging through the code right now... but it seems to me a
duplication of effort and potentially incompatible patchs so it is
better for me to just stay on the sideline.

It is not a burncd only issue... if you had done your research you would
of seen it also happens on reading cd's and any other tool that uses the
sata cd driver... and *YES* I did post a confirmation earlier (but not a
request for assistence) earlier in this very thread of the issues the
above issue that has been publically reported by at least 2 other people

See above... also this arrived as I was having lunch and deciding to
dive into the ahci code as was pointed out by someone else to see why
all p35/sata devices are legacy and not ahci

It is a driver and not an app issue!
