Hello! I had to reinstall windows xp, on my computer. Now when I tried to load my games back on, Some of the disk are not working. The green light comes on and I can hear it spinning, but the Icon never changes for the drive like it does when I load the other games. The disk that are not working are in very good condition, no scratches or smudges. I had downloaded Drive Boost, before I had problems with my computer. Drive Boost put windows Vista files on my Windows XP... So I ended up having to reinstall Windows... Windows update put windows 7 firmware updates on my Windows XP... I uninstalled the firmware update. I then pulled up the devises menu and uninstalled the drivers and updated the drivers. I still get the same problem of some of my games will load, where I had no problem before Drive Boost... Thanks for your time, Don Wise.
