XP pro freeze on boot up with new Philips CDRW
I've just replaced an old cd-rom with a cdrw a Philips PCRW5232K/00
and when I try to boot XP Pro it freezes. Any clues why this happens. I have checked the usual settings and that everything is connected, but still no joy. I have tried connecting the old cd-rom and setting the other drive as the slave and this seems to work, but is a little slower than it used to be. Is there someway I can get around this? Some background on the hardwa Asus socket A mainboard 1 gb Athlon Barracuda HD Samaung CD Philips 52 writer Generic sound card Nvidia 64 graphics card Generic 56kbs modem |
