I've run into this several times with different drives and different disks. When a software install disk is inserted in my CD-ROM the drive will stutter and hic-up, the mouse pointer will freeze and jerk, and it'll be like pulling teeth to get the drive's drawer open to get the disk outa there!!!
Then I turn around and put the same disk in my wife's system with a different brand drive and it runs smooth as silk.
Conversely, a different disk my get the same reaction in her drive, but run fine in mine.
What causes this? I've seen it off and on for the 5 or so years I've been messin' with confusers with multiple drives and disks.
Thanks for any help,
Steve
