It is pretty much standard for that old of a system. |

It's hard to tell without inspecting the computer. You may have a faulty software driver or you may need a new drive. If so, and you're not comforatable working with computers, you can alway buy a stand alone drive at Office Max or a similar store as long as your computer has an available port on it.
