Hey all

Anyone ever experienced this problem?

I'm reinstalling Pro Evo 2008 on my PC right now, and whilst its installing from the DVD, my PC is running REALLY slowly, yet I have a 2.6ghz Intel Core 2 Quad overclocked to 3ghz with 4gb of RAM.

Any clues on how to fix this? I dont understand it at all, seriously, even moving the mouse goes jerky when the PC is reading from the DVD Drive.

I have a Samsung Writemaster DVD Drive and am running XP SP3, the DVD drive is connected to my mobo via IDE.

Hope you can help
