Hello Mt Fuji and MMC members,

I would like to hear the opinion from optical device manufacturers with regards to the sense code 03/02/00 – no seek complete. Is this a fatal error which will be fail again always if the same command is issued again by the host, or, is this an error that may be recovered from if the same command is issued again by the host (assume the media is not changed)?

Microsoft would like this information in order to better implement Windows and make sure that no unnecessary delays is introduced for the user under this condition.

I understand the behavior may depend of a vendor’s specific implementation and would like to hear what each device vendor implements. If you do not feel comfortable discussing your particular implementation in this public distribution list, feel free to respond directly to Microsoft.

With regards,

David Burg,

Microsoft.
