Alright. Went to Chicago for a week. It was fun. Visited people, ate some good food.. I like Lou Malnati's better than Gino's East. I didn't get a chance to try Pizzeria Uno's though...
But in any case get home, turn on the computer to play some games and... what the... the CD-ROM drive isn't working... okay... I'll stick it into the DVD-ROM drive... same thing...
I stick a disc in there and it seeks it. The drive spins then stops, then spins, then stops. All the while my mouse pointer is getting that pointer with CD like it's looking at the CD, then it goes away (and the drive stops spinning). Then it comes back when the drive starts up again.
Slows my computer down like you wouldn't believe until I take the disc out.
I'm running Windows XP SP2.
Old dinosaur of a computer (I'm trying to use this as an excuse to my wife for a new computer). But why would both drives die at the same time? I'm thinking Motherboard or something...
Any ideas?
