Any number of things sadly!

Installing new sofware, can and sometimes does without knowing effects the performance of them, outdating of the drivers etc.

Hardware may also do this, there may not be a compatiblity between them with the current drivers.

Trace back to when you first noticed the slower/weaker performance, and think about what you did to the computer at this stage?

Also Viruses! biggrin.gif

If both of the drives are broken, try putting them into a different machine to see if they work. If not, the drives themselves are broken. If they do work in a different PC then you have either deleted the drivers for them, removed them from the BIOS or changed a system setting. As tuddy says, try and remember if you changed anything before the drives stopped working. If you are on XP you could try using System Restore.

If all that doesn't fix the problem..then.. you can use the CD/DVD troubleshooting charts at my website in the "Beginners" section to sort it all out.
Be sure to post back with the news/results here or for more help.
Hope this helps biggrin.gif

    this is because I always seem to have problems wioth my PC as it seems to run brilliant for a couple
    of weeks and then it goes slow like a snail but I've never been able to find out why? Would
