Recently, my computer is having trouble running videos. By that, it'll lag the audio when the video runs. When that doesn't occur, the video will run properly off the disc, but then the drive will freeze momentairly and then the audio lags again. Also some game DVDs and movie DVDs don't run period. I can already tell that the cd-rom drive and its drivers may be the culprit, but I don't want to ...

Hello! My problem is one I've never had before (and I've had most other problems!) For some time the CD-Rom drive was difficult to open, but the appropriate page told me "this device is working properly" - "no better driver available" etc. Finally - during a restart after the M/S updates install, the PC gave a loud, strange prolonged noise, from "somewhere" around the CD-Rom drive area, and ...

Hi x zero90, Thanks for posting. XP is only available on CD-Rom. However there are other sites that list ways to install with a USB. This is not tested so can not be guaranteed by Microsoft. Also please make sure you have a known good backup before performing any format. Hope this helps!

Unplug both ends of the leads going to the drives and re-seat ensuring a good fit. With the power it makes no difference where it comes from or goes to just as long as you have the correct type of lead plugged in. It is just about impossible to put the wrong power connector in the wrong devise. If that will not work, unplug the CD/DVD and try and boot with just the hard drive plugged in....
