Here's one I've never run into before, but perhaps someone here in
PCBUILDLand may have (If it is in the archives, please point the way).

Recently, I did a "routine" install of CD ROMs on 2 computers. I did
a fairly standard HD as primary Master, and the CD as primary Slave.
Once the install was complete, I inserted a CD, and the drive worked
fine. However, over the past few days, on about every 2nd boot the
computer issues an error message about "Invalid Boot Media" and can't
continue. A hard reboot and the computer starts up and everything is
fine. I might have thought that the Hard drive was getting flakey at
the same time as the install of the CD (a coincidence), but not two
on separate computers. The CD is a brand I'm not familiar with--
Delta 48X Max, and their phone number is in Taiwan,  their web site
(http://www.deltaca.com) offers no tech support. Any Ideas would be
helpful.

TIA
