Well, this is a good place I think even if a little off-topic.

I don't know what's the reason, but at my workplace, I got a new
machine. Everything seems to be ok, only rarely the dvd rom on the
second ide cable disappear under win2k (it says I have removed it?).
Also, sometimes I take my home hdd (which works ok here) to my
workplace, and attach it instead of the dvd rom. Mostly I get the same
errors you described. Sometime if I change the end of the cable, then it
works, and occassionaly it boots ok anyway. I think it can be bios (very
stupid one)/cable. Also my motherboard a bit strange, the first ide is
ATA100, and the second is not!
So try to exchange ide cables if you can do it.
Hope this helps,
GCS
