Well, this could also be a reason that the original SH3 DVD could be a problem with the number of fresh install I made with it. So the new install of SH3 will be from a new, unused SH3 DVD.
I sincerely hope that I can use the data and mod folders by pasting it into the new install.

Your computer accesses all your drives and peripherals when it starts (after the MB does its POST, or Power On Self-test) and, depending on how it's setup in the bios, looks for the boot drive, usually C:. When it quiries your CD / DVD drives if there's a disc in it'll search for the boot command, delaying your computer's boot up (unless you happen to have a Windows OS disc sitting in there).
