SYMPTOMS
While you are copying files to a DVD-RAM disc, or to a CD-RW disc that uses the Mount Rainier format, a program may eject the disc while the file copy is in progress by issuing an Eject request to the drive. This may corrupt the data you are copying. This may occur even if the eject button on the front panel of the drive is locked (disabled).



CAUSE
This problem may occur if the FAT file system driver (Fastfat.sys) does not fully lock the media in the drive.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
