If I am very patient and do nothing for several minutes (3-5 min) the DVD MAY spin up again and copying may resume (or it may not and will simply remain �stuck�). The ∼opying� progress bar will be somewhere on the middle and the Copying window will remain open but no more copying takes place. The DVD will spin and the ∼opying� window will open and will show progress for several minutes.
I will open a data DVD and attempt to copy all 5 gig of data (or a sizeable chunk of it) to folder on the hard drive. My guess is that most people don�t encounter this problem because most people don�t routinely attempt to copy gigabytes of data from data DVD�s in one operation. This has happened to me on at least three very different computers (all running windows XP, all updates and patches) with several different DVD from different sources (most �verified� when written) so it must be something in the OS or a common feature of drivers and not particular failure on a single system.
