What version of windows?
Unless you have one of the latest machines with a SATA hard disk then
your machine will have two IDE interfaces. Each interface can support
two devices a master and a slave. This tends to rule out the hardware
as one of your CD/DVDs will be sharing the same IDE interface as your
hard disk but you could try disconnecting all the CD/DVDs and reconnect
them one by one. Could be one of your drives is causing the problem. Pay
attention to the jumper settings though.

The recommended/usual method of setting up IDE interfaces is to have the Hard drives as master and slave on one channel and the optical drives as master and slave on the other.
So it is possibly a fault on the IDE interface. -- Roger Smith .
