I sense that this may all have come about because of the changes I've made both in replacing Vista with XP and in changing the settings in XP in order that Hoster will run to it's fullest potential.
I want to thank you guys for your efforts but I'm going to have to rely in your knowledge and experience further.

If you put a disk in the drive and close it does the drive spin up like it is trying to read it?
This is sounding more and more like your drive has died. Do you have somewhere locally that you can take it to get the laptop checked out? They should be able to check the drive and see if it is working ok.
