I have a Dell Inspiron 2200, 1.7 Ghz Pentium M processor, 1.24 gb ram, 40 gb hard drive, cd rw/DVD drive; Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002, Service Pack 3.

Cd drive is not being detected by system for last three months.

The software did detect the cd drive for few minutes after i reinstalled Windows XP, before crashing. I installed Windows XP using USB flash drive.

Get the following error code on blue screen :

A) [0X0000008E(0XC0000005, 0X8060E3F2, 0XA911F868, 0X00000000)]

B) [0X0000008E (0XC000001D,0XBF931CD6, 0XA480E814, 0X00000000)]

(A) & (B) are different error codes i got on blue screen; where A and B refer to codes obtained by installing the operating system again.

I removed Kaspersky Internet security 2009 which was there during error code A and have installed Avast Antivirus, free Version which is there now (error code B).

I have tried to reduce the no of softwares operating to minimize crashing.

I do not have software for cd/DVD writer/player.

Could anyone tell me how to stop the computer from crashing/rectify the error.
i have also tried to check the hardware and software from help and support and its output is below.
