Can ya help me?

I'm using a 48x CD-ROM drive with iTunes 7 to import my music into mp3's, only it starts to copy at or around 2.5x, never going faster than 6x and sometimes dipping down to 0.2x.

I've used mostly store-bought music CD's, tried changing the bitrate, left iTunes as the only application running all with similar results. On a friend's computer (not that different from my own) they copy considerably faster. Could it be the drive's settings? iTunes doesn't seem to have settings for this.

My computer is running Windows XP SP2, Celeron 1.7GHz processor, 128MB DDR RAM.

A brand new unopen package HP privillion desk top 2.9 ghz celeron bought in 2004 left unused for a year.

When setup and turn on the computer in 2005, the screen saids "NDTLR missing press alt ctrl delete to restart"

I called and complained
They (HP) sent me HP privillion system restore disk 1-9 disc.
The restoration works up until the 3rd CD, it stopped installing. It kept asking to insert the 3rd cd when the 3rd cd is already in. I tried putting in the 2nd or 4th cd etc and it still won't work.

Note that everything is formatted, I cannot get into windows at all. I tried to install a fresh Windows XP home & professional.
The booting works, but when it is trying to copy files from the XP cd, it stopped at 3%. "setup cannot copy file csrss.exe". Not just that. When I skip that file and continue installation, the rest of the files cannot be copied too.
HP won't do anything because it is out of warranty. BUT it was a brand new PC unused!! never worked when opened on the first day

I'm trying to power up a buddy's PC.

MSI Neo4-F
Antec Power Supply

As far as I can tell the power supply is OK. If I short pin 16 (PS_on) to pin 15 (common) I get all my voltages just fine.

The power switch itself is fine. When I check voltage across the switch it's something like 1 volt (I'm thinking this should be the 3.3V I see on PS_ON). So I figure I'll check continuity between the switch pins and the power supply connector pins. One switch pin is fine to the common but the other pin reads high resistance going to (PS_on), on the power supply plug.

Am I correct in assuming the power switch is supposed to be tied directly to the (PS_on) of the power supply plug? I'm thinking the board has a bad feed but wanted some other opinions.

Am I being clear as mud?

There was an icon in the task bar tray that I clicked to safely eject a disk, but I accidentally clicked the one to remove the disk drives. The only things showing up in My Computer folder are C, D, and K. Now F, G, H, and I are missing. Are they gone for good? I really hope not. How do I restore these? Thanks for your help!
