Incorrect PCI Bus Master IDE controllers cause this problem. CD-ROM’s use these drivers to interface with your system. The problem is not with the CD-ROM drive, since in Windows you do not need any special drivers to make it work. Contact your motherboard manufacturer for updated drivers. You need to also remove the DOS drivers from the Autoexec.bat and Config.sys for the CD-ROM drive.
