QuestionLong recognition time CD-ROM Pin

I know it's a programming website and my question has nothing to do with programming, but I exist in CP for some time and I love the community. Blush | :O

Problem Statement
OK. The problem is: it takes extremely much time to recognize a CD or DVD for my DVD-ROM drive. By extremely long I mean 5-15 minutes. What is interesting, it happens only for the first CD/DVD used from system start. The further insterted CDs are recognized and read much slower than before the problem appeared, but they are recognized at almost normal time.

I suppose is enough information for somebody who knows what's going on. However, here is the background.

Background
1. I messed up IDE cable. I thought that there is a problem with HDD and a "HDD cable" mislead me. In effect, I was plugging/unplugging CD cable and maybe I damaged it.

2. I do not know a model of my CD-ROM. I mean, it is a classical no-name from a computer bought as a whole. I regret buying it that way.


Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Greetings - Jacek
