  Well, as a corporate user, your best bet is to go talk to your IT people and
explain that it's causing a problem with the cygwin tools that you need to use
to do your job and could they uninstall it for you please?  The DLA software
is used for (udfs) packet-based cd burning by dragging and dropping files to
the cd in explorer.  You won't be able to read or write packet-based discs any
more but you'll still be able to read and burn standard disc-at-once or
track-at-once cds.

  UDFS is a PITA anyway.  Non-standard, plagued by buggy drivers and
implementations, you're better off without it.  I once had some UDFS
packet-burning software on my w2k box that thought it had a really bright
idea: it put a standard-format boot sector/autorun track (I forget exactly
which) on every UDFS disc, that would run any time you inserted the disk in a
machine without a UDFS driver and install one.

  Unfortunately the UDFS driver it installed was buggy.  So what you really
got was a disc which when you inserted it into a machine, it immediately
BSoD'd the machine.

  But not before configuring the buggy driver to autostart in early boot.

  So after you take the disk out you're left with a brick that just
auto-self-destructs every time you boot it up.

  

  Took a while to fix that one.







  This is why I feel that UDFS must die.
