CD drive

'Older' Micron Millennia computer
XP home (all updates installed)
320 MB RAM
CD drive is OEM NEC

Today, on boot, the mouse cursor has the little spinning CD next to it
continually. The CD request is hogging nearly all my resources. If I
disable (physically - or virtually through device manager) the rest of the
system works fine. As soon as I enable (or re-install) the CD drive the
little spinning disk attaches to my cursor and the system comes to a near
halt. If I wait long enough device manager shows the CD drive is working
properly with no conflicts.

Would anyone offer any suggestions?

Thanks
