new CD drives are very slow

Hi, I replaced the CD ROM drives in my computer, both of them and now they
both run slow, 1 more than the other. The CD's I try in these drives work
perfect in my other computers, some CD's work but take a very long time, but
some don't seem to. Is there something I need to change? I tried
uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them in device manager. This is
really annoying me so if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. It just seems
that they're working very slow, too slow for some things, very annoying. The
old ones worked fine but I can't switch back. Thanks

Go back into Device Manager and check to see that they are in DMA mode. See
the Properties/Advanced Settings for your IDE controller that they are
connected to, which is usually the Secondary channel.
