I have a computer with 4 disc drives.

After replacing one of those drives, I get a problem where ripping does not progress on the new drive. CD Ripper just kind of "hangs" and ripping speed stays at 0.0x. If I let it run for a really long time (10 min +, it will report "Pass 1 Ripping x%" and the "X" % will move up very slowly. But, it doesn't create any audio files.

If I move the SATA cable from the drive that's not working to another drive, the problem moves with that SATA cable! So, the drives are all fine, but there's a problem with whichever drive is assigned drive letter "E" only.

I would have assumed there was something wrong with that SATA cable connection, but, strangely, I can rip CDs without any issues on all 4 drives with JRiver Media Center. The problem is blocking dbPoweramp CD ripper, but not JRiver.

I uninstalled AnyDVD, which has caused problems in the past.

I used ImgBurn to make sure that no filter drivers are in use.

CD Ripper Options>Communication is set to SCSI Pass Through (SPT)

Any ideas?
