Hello,
I have a strange problem.
When I play a music CD in my CD-ROM every now and then (but quiet a lot)
My CD-ROM stops playing and my HD start working as mad. This can take
between one second and 4 seconds. I don't think that the HD is really used
then.
I don't understand what is the problem.

Are you low on memory? It could be that the HD activity is the system
doing a lot of memory swapping. Everything freezes for a second when
there is heavy swapping.

It may be, though I say may because I'm completely stumped, that there is some sort of
arbitration problem on your IDE bus. Check you CD drives and make sure that only one
is the Master and that the other is a Slave. Though if this is indeed it's doubtful
that
your computer would work at all.
