I primarily run OpenBSD and Fedora, but sometimes I resort back to Windows XP to keep from trying to run too many windows multimedia programs in virtual machines. From time to time, something locks the handle on the dvd/cdrom drive. Googling around, I found help here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/ProcessExplorer.mspx Process Explorer let me find the handle and unlock it, and then I was able to once again use dvd decrypter to burn an iso image to dvd. Hope this helps someone who runs into the same problem. If it does and you want to tell me about it, you can email me at: dancer68 at sdf dot lonestar dot org (address in the format to keep away the bad spiderbots. ;)
