Error -48 when importing CD into iTunes

Question

Error -48 when importing CD into iTunes

Hey, I doubt anyone can answer this (even Apple) but I just bought a brand new computer (with Windows XP) and installed the latest iTunes. I then pointed iTunes to my library to import my previouse music. (which is in a NAS) All is rosy. I purchased a new CD today and when I import it it gets through one, maybe two songs then generates: "Unknown Error -48 when translating song" and won't complete. I reload the CD, sometimes I get two, sometimes none. Different CD's create the same effect!

If I import to a fold w/ WMP and then import the folder, no issues. So what's the setting that I'm missing?

Thanks in advance!

Windows XP

My problem was fixed by turning off my external hard drive for a few seconds and then turning it on again. My music library is stored on a WD 500G external drive connected driectly to a Linksys Wireless- N Gigabit Router With Storage Link. Evidently, it was shutting down access to iTunes when importing songs from a CD. iTunes would import one song before producing error 48.
