When trying to load my free PC World disk, I keep getting a 'Unable to access drive' message.

Luckily, I have a CD Burner set as a slave to the DVD drive and when I put the disk in there, there are no problems.

DVD Drive is Creative 4.8x

Any suggestions ?

nah, it doesn't sound good, check your ide cable, to make sure it hasn't worked loose. Then delete it from control panel/system and reboot.

Try switching the drives on the cable, or even moving the dvd over to IDE1 slave with your hdd.

Is it just the pc world cd? Is the drive recognised by windows? Is it recognised on startup? Is this win98?

It seems to be just the pc world cd that won't boot, but music cd's have very choppy playback also.

The drive is recognised by windows at start up. Yes, this is Windows 98.
