You could try a BIOS update for your brand of mother board.

Roxio is definitely your problem. Remove your easy cd creator software first and then try it.If this works you know the cause.
Next -go to the roxio site and download the update for your version of ECDC AND the driver update for XP.

I have tried all of the above but no use. I did not remove the easy cd but update it with the latest version instead. However, the problem is still there.
