Help
My computer has been running very slow for months. I noticed today I have these errors in my Media Center event viewer logs back to May. The errors are similar to - The recording schedule has been corrupted and was automatically deleted on 12/30/2011 8:45:45 AM. You may need to reschedule your recordings.
When trying to load a CD/DVD DISCover comes up and says wait while detecting media. I haven't been able to read from a CD/DVD for awhile. I also can't read an SD card.
The Source is Recording and the Event ID is 19.
I can't find anything online as to what the problem may be.
Thanks for any assistance you may be able to provide.

My computer runs really slow when first opening a web page. Also, when I put a CD/DVD in one of the drives, DISCover pops up and say wait while we discover your media. It never comes up. Also the SD slot doesn't recognize SD cards. The media center
I'm running Windows XP Service Pack 3, Media Center Edition Version 2002. I do have my original Operating System CDs.
Under Event Viewer - System, I'm seeing disk controller errors - The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk1\D. I'm going to try running a check by right clicking on the drive and tools tab.
I see these errors under Media Center - The recording schedule has been corrupted and was automatically deleted on 1/4/2012 1:45:27 AM. You may need to reschedule your recordings. I did reload the Media Center software a couple of days ago and haven't seen any more errors since 1/4. Otherwise they were appearing 1-3 times a day back and since May 2011.
