So I put a new dvd writer in about 2-3 weeks ago, it has been fine until tonight, tried to install F1 2011 and its taking ages, so I did a read test (dumping said disc to hard drive) with IMGBurn and low and behold my read speeds are only ~5x.
Is it possible that its just a faulty sata cable rather than the whole drive being on its way out already? Another drive would make it my 3rd this year!
Edit: sigh if I manually run the game.msi file everything installs (or so it seems thus far) but I can't hear the drive spinning up at all.
