There is a known issue with Dell's Dimension 9200/XPS 410 that shows the
symptom you are seeing. Vista's eventlog would then also show "Iastor
timeout errors". If you have such a system, you should try one or better
both of the following:
- update the firmware of your optical drive(s)
- move the optical drive's sata connector(s) from sata port(s) 2 (and 3) to
sata port(s) 4 (and 5). Disable the now unused sata ports in the BIOS and
enable the now used ones.
That workaround worked for most of the affected systems.
Good luck
