I have a P3 800Mhz PC with Win XP Home and Win98SE OSs. LG DVD ROM drive and Samsung CDRW configured as secondary master & secondary slave respectively.
When I started my PC after 12 days , my LG DVD ROM drive refused to open. Even in the my computer of win xp and win98se E: was not shown. I took a needle and put it into the small hole to open the drive. It then started to open and close normally but E: was still not shown in the my computer.
I restarted my PC and then E: was also recognised. But when I inserted a disc into my drive it worked well for 5 minutes then my PC hung. After restarting I put another disc into it , it worked well this time but my PC became sluggish. The CPU usage is less than 50% and free ram available is 132MB of the 320MB available. Even 290MB of virtual memory is free.
