Answer» Ok Well i now have my New Computer All Set up and Working , it SEEMED to be working fine for a few days....
Then i had a problem With BF2 Failing to start, so i figured EA game's Bah humbug, and Reinstalled the Game it still didn't work..
So this time i uninstalled it completely. then Ran setup again.. but this time , the Installer would Start get to about 5% and freeze up.. do i think bad disk... TRY my Friends BF2 disk same Problem..
Then i remembered When i was installing all my Drivers the Computer was Hanging when i tired to Run the install DISKS(It Worked but was just Relay Slow) i just figured it was because i had no Mobo Drivers installed.
So then i pop in my Old DVD Rom, BF2 Installs fine.
Ok so now if you Read all that Crap you know where I'm At, I'm thinking i have a Bad Drive EVEN tho it installed windows fine. So has any one Else used SATA DVD or CD Drives , and if so do you know if theres any Driver Problems as my Problem seems to just be in windows?
I'm Using Windows XP Service Pack 2, i use Ewido and AVG Actively, AMD AM2 CPU,MSI NEO Mobo with Nforce570 Chipset. my HDD is SATA Segate 320gig and the DVD dirve is a Samsung DVD +-RW
This is the Drive in question
