I have the "failed to set xfermode" issue, too. My workaround is to disable the controller in the BIOS. This is a realy bad workaround, because I cannot access my DVD-Drive. Vista has no problems with it so I think we can rule out hardware failours. It's very sad that this bug hasn't been fixed for about 1 1/2 years. Is there any progress Ben?
