Ok heres my issue, Resently I wiped my system clean, had Win 98SE on it. Loaded XP Home onto it. Had problems with the CD-Rom Drives from the begining.
Problem #1(most important to me):
In The Bios they are recognized, can see them can boot to them. In XP Can’t see them, can’t even access them. I tried add New Hardware and it continues to say that there are no new drives that need to be added to the system. Been racking my brain out trying to figure this one out.
Problem #2:
When I boot my system everything goes fine till it comes to the XP Screen where it shows it loading. This is before actually logging into the system. After it shows that screen it takes about 10 minutes just for the Login Screen to appear. After that everything seems to be running ok.
If theres anything that you need to know Guide me in the directions I need to go…
I know my system can handle Win XP, I ran the compatibility test before I even started all this.
Everything worked fine when I had Win 98SE on it. Only reason why I switched is because I was getting more and more errors and problems with IE, and Spyware hitting me. I use McAfee Firewall and Virus Scan, also use a Popup killer and spyware blockers and still kept getting them. So I figured a fresh start would be good.
