Same problem - no idea how to fix

I have an old Pentium MMX 200 (MoBo J-Mark 571B, Award Bios 4.51 SiS 5571 Chipset) running Windows XP Pro. Every time I start up the PC, Windows installs new drivers for my secondary IDE channel, and the 2 CDROM drives on it. This is a problem since it eats up my already limited resources, and prompts me to reboot. I previously had this problem when running Win2k as well. I tried switching the CD drives, removing each one... Anyone help?

Sorry forgot to mention that I use FAT32 and not NTFS, no wallpaper or welcome screen, only one user... but Visual Styles are enabled.

I was able to install WinXP pro SP2 on an old machine Pentium-MMX 200, 32 RAM, 6G HD. It takes a while to start, but runs fine otherwise as long as only one or two apps are open at a time. To get XP to install, I had to use n-Lite to remove the minimum memory check.
