Ok just installed my new Graphics card (actually its old one from previous PC - Geforce 4...but better than on board graphics that came with this PC)

In order to get it slotted in I had to rearrange alot of things - most importantly my DVD & CD-RW drives as the IDE cable was blocking the slot for the Graphics card

So i unplugged them as well as my HD as its cable was blocking access to the CD drives cable.

Fitted graphics card and secured it then plugged in DVD / CD-RW & HD - turned the PC on and installed drivers for new graphics card...thought all was working fine

but when I try to open a CD in either the DVD or CD-RW drive it wont open

I can view the contents of the CD (takes a while longer than normal though) but when I try to run anything or copy anything from CD it slows whole computer down and appears to freeze

HD is installed in the first IDE slot
DVD master in IDE 2 - with CD-RW as slave

could I have got them in the worng IDE slots - doe that make a difference?

Operating system Win XP pro
