Also if I try to rip anything to them or burn anything from them they lock up and they stop showing up in 'My Computer' till I reboot.
I'm guessing you mean to/from cd burner. Check the tranfer mode of the drives: Device manager>ide controllers>both primary and secondary channels (hdd's are probably on primary, cd-roms on secondary) The transfer mode should be DMA if available. The current transfer mode should be DMA, not PIO.

It says 'delay write failed'
Click on My computer. rite click on the drive>select properties>hardware tab>highlight a drive>click properties>policies tab- uncheck the “enable write caching on the disk”
