Hi, I'm new to the boards and I think they're kinda cool.
Anyhow, I've been having this strange problem with my comp lately. See, my friend gave me a computer with a friend motherboard and I finally got a chance to use some of the parts for my current one. I swapped in a CD-RW Drive first and it works fine. Then I put in a new CD-ROM drive from the computer and my comp just stalls for around a min or 2 at bootup. After that it starts up like normal.
If i go into "My Computer" it detects the drive as if everything was normal and it can play CD's too. I'm just wondering why it stalls my computer everytime it starts up? I checked to make sure everything was OK in the BIOS, it appeared to be...
I have the CD-ROM drive set as master, the CD-RW as slave. Everything was working fine with the old ROM, except for the fact that the thing was so slow and I was lucky to be able to listen to a CD!
If it helps, i have an Emachines comp, 192mb RAM, 633mhz processor (yea, its kinda old) and its running windows XP Pro with all the SP's. Thx for any help!
