I agree with Dragon. It sounds like a hardware issue. My old CD-RW fucked over right when I switched to Windows XP. I notice my PC had a HUGE lag on everything I did. Even clicking on icons was slow...during the same time, my CD-RW was actind odd as well. I formatted twice to fix the problem but it never helped. I figured out the problem accidently...when burning a bunch of data for my brother, I put his CD-RW in my PC (due to its faster burn speed) and noticed that my problem was fixed. My CD-RW was causing the lag! I took it outside and beat it with a sledge hammer appropriately.
I'd switch out hardware components (if you have them available to you) until the problem goes away. It's a pain, but it's really your only option.
