Hi.. last night I was at the comp, and I went to put a Cd into the drive and when I closed it I got an error, something like
"you have unplugged a device while the computer is running, next time blah blah, do you want this icon in the tray"
I said no. I hate having tonnes of sh!t in the tray. So then I don't have either of my drives working, the reader, or the writer, niether register or appear anywhere, so I reboot. After the reboot, asus probe launches on startup, but hangs, so I end task asus probe, then my system is a crawl. It's slower than my moms 133, I want to kill myself. Anything I do takes hours, it's so sluggish that it's maddening. I have tried uninstalling asus probe, because whenever I rebooted, it gave me the most trouble on startup, I though it was conflicting with something. Then I clocked the machine back down to stock. I have unplugged the offending drive, still, nothing is working. I don't know what to do and this is killin me. I don't want to reinstall, but I will if I have to, I could have saved myself some time actually if I reinstalled just now, but I'de rather know how to fix a problem. I have my OS on another partition, so it's not so bad I guess. I don't want to reinstall though because then that'll put the NT loader back in the MBR and take lilo out of the picture (I dual boot with debian).. I don't know what to do. Please help, thanks.
