Windows crashes with DVD writer

I've not yet got down to analysing why XP crashes with the DVD writer - mostly while reading. Probably some driver issue, since it does not happen the machine is booted into Linux. So, instead of correcting the problem, I'm just doing my Cd/DVD work in Linux, except for the Audio CD extraction. For that also, Dharma with the Plexwriter is much faster. (Plexwriter 24/10/40A CD writer versus Sony 16x DVD writer).
