When I try to defrag my hard drives I get an error message, "Disk
Defragmenter could not start."

Also, when I hard boot my PC my two optical disks will recognize the disks
that are in them but once opened the drive will not recognize a second disk.

Can someone give me some help on this please? Thanks.
 
Hello Jameson,

Sounds like you have installed SP2 from the windows
update site. I recommend uninstalling it.

Un-install SP2:
- Go to Start/Control Panel/Add-Remove Programs and
select SP2
- Next boot to the WinXP CD
- Select Repair and follow other screen instructions.
- After it Reboots go to the Desktop.
- Run a 3rd Party Windows Registry cleaner program.
- Defrag the Windows Registry file.
- Then reboot.
- After it Reboots go to the Desktop.
- Check your problem, as it should be ok now.
- Then go to the Windows Update Site and download and
install them again without SP2.
- Wait for a while until Microsoft gets SP2 fixed.

Sounds like you don't have the proper master/slave
configuration on the optical drives.

If you would like to correspond further, I have created a
temporary email address you can contact me at:
