Whenever I load a cd into either of my drives.. windows kind of freezes for a few seconds while it spins up. Is this normal? Is there a way to fix it?

it's normal... don't worry about it.. i don't think it would happen on a super quick 15000RPM SCSI drive though,,,:p

normal

u can take off auto-insert notification in win2k with a simple registry hack as well..

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SYSTEM>CurrentControlSet>Services>CDrom

set the autorun dword value to 0 (and 1 to enable)
