    Most times computer slows to a crawl when I put in a cd or dvd and most times I can not copy directly to the drives.

    Sounds like a hardware fault.
    Check all the cables are seated properly (with the power OFF)
    Check the CD jumper is set to master and the only drive on the cable.
    If you can try and borrow a spare CD drive and see if it also has this problem.
    If it is good with another CD drive your drive is bad
    If it is still bad with another cd there is a problem with your IDE driver.
    Hold the windows key down and press Pause/break
    In the hardware tab go to device manager
    Are there any yellow triangles showing. If so what do they say/ You will need to expand the branch at the triange to find out the exact device concerned.
