        What is your booting order set in the BIOS? It is possible that the
computer is being directed to look at the CDROM to boot and then the
harddrive; perhaps the CDROM drive does not support booting or is not
behaving properly. Try setting your computer to boot from only C (or at
least C first) if the problem goes away your CDROM doesn't like booting.
