Hi guys
Recently installed Win XP. Most things fine (except for sound problem - see other post).
One thing I have noticed now is that after I have been using the PC for a while and restart the machine the PC waits for ages trying to detect my IDE drives (including DVD ROM and CD RW. After about 1 minute it carries on having found my two hard drives but not the DVD or CDRW!! The loading screen takes FOREVER, but eventually Win XP loads but I cannot access my CD-R (I can access the DVD though!) This is Soooooooo weird..... I have re-installed Win XP and it works fine for a while then forgets there is a CD-R again and takes ages to boot.
Any ideas?
