External CD/DVD drive slowing boot
Hi All,
Ever since I installed an external CD/DVD drive, my PC takes an age to boot, appearing to hang for a couple of minutes before springing into life. If I disconnect the drive it boots at normal speed again. Is there any way around this? Thanks.

In addition to what Gary stated, you should also remove CDs and DVDs from a
drive once you are finished using them.... "Gary S. Terhune" wrote in message ... Asked and answered in Win98.General.Discussion.

What's the difference between in the CD/DVD hardware on the CD/DVD tray or
elswhere? If you use the same CD everyday, like a game, isn't there more chance of damage by removal everyday after use? -- Jonny "USR" wrote in message ...
