ALL,

Thanks for the tip off. The utility shipped as part of MP1A new downloads fixes 
the problem with CD Drives going off line. It was basically a registry foul-up 
which caused the CD device handler to die.

All fine now.

There are some fairly major fixes to MP1 in MP1A, mainly based around the haste 
of getting MP1 out to start with..... None of these "features" actually 
appeared in the knowledge base!.... SHAME ON YOU Big-V!.


Cheers,

Adam Mason.


====================================


Adam, 

Veritas release MP1A yesterday for win32 based systems. 
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/267588.htm 

Now in reading threw the docs ( http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/261814.htm 
) for MP1A i saw this 
  
267649: NB_50_1_M_drvmcdb_utility_267649.zip  Utility to fix CDROM device 
access problem on Windows 2003 systems after installing VERITAS NetBackup (tm) 
Maintenance Pack 1
 http://support.veritas.com/docs/267649 

Which leads me to my question. What is different between MP1 and MP1A. I can't 
see a difference.
