I have both a Combo drive and a DVD Writer installed in my PC, when I booth up my computer it seems to be very slow... What would be the cause of this problem? Is it my jumper settings. Is my jumper settings correct since I use my HDD as my Primary Master, DVD Wreiter as my Secondary Master, and Combo Drive as my Secondary Slave...?

That is probably the cause of the problem, cause if you have two hard drives, sometimes setting the jumpers for primary and secondary doesnt do it, because the computer has already registered both of them as the primary so it creates an error. To fix this, put one of the jumpers on cable select. If you still have problems, let me know.

Your jumper settings are correcct ! It's software related. A cluttered registry, a lot of programs are loading, you have anti spyware and anti virus running all the time, or trojans and male ware have been installed on your computer without your knowledge.

Most hard drives and cd-roms have the jumper settings listed somewhere on the device.

If your jumper setting are incorrect, I don't think it would start up at all (or at least comlplain to you for a while).
