Sam — I have same problem, while booting only. CD Drive is Panasonic 563, seemingly correctly installed AFTER NT install from floppies (per setup.txt and readme's in drvlib\storage\mkecr5xx\x86). Time to boot: BEFORE CD-ROM installed: less than 10 secs (5 secs fastest as I recall). AFTER: over 1 minute. Times above for BLUE char mode screen only to disappear, DO NOT INCLUDE logo time prior to c-a-d box. I've done several installs since 1st one last September and all seems in good shape; I'm at SP-2. DOS boot is very fast, immed access to CD. Machine is Dell 466vXPS, 16Meg with aprx 12ms IDE drive. Thanks — Matt Read action !
