You could try having ONLY 1 dvd/cd drive connected ( and change the jumper to master or auto)

The real fix is to replace the DVD drive , or try another from another PC.
Actually ,old IDE XP PC's are worthless now, you could buy a complete working XP PC for almost nothing . Many companies simply scrap
PC's that old , so you could possibly get something better with working drives from trademe.

Bottom line is, how much of your time do you want to put into it ?
