Does your hardware not working with Windows constitute a reason?

Not at all. I'm pretty sure its faulty hardware. :p

Besides, I'm way to used to Windows. I'm not going to up and switch to Linux without globs of time on my hands (which I don't really have ATM). :)

UPDATE

Today, due to some unknown reason, I decided to remove my seemingly faulty "LS-120" drive. My computer works fine now...holy shit. How annoying. -_-

Long windows load times and errors are symptoms of corrupted registry hives, these occur when some or all of the sectors containing the registry hives become corrupted or bad.  This occurs in .1% of all computers with an out of the box factory windows install.

Huh, interesting. It had other symptoms too. Now that I think about it, its obvious that it was a corrupt drive. It froze on installs when it tried to read contents of drives and also when I tried to 'open' my b: (floppy drive).
