mcmorj is still having a problem:
<< Have you tried a different CD drive?
...you will see in my earlier posts I have tried 3

<< Try disconnecting the power to the drives you do not need access to.
This may help

... a good idea but alas already tried, also the SCSI disks have a boot
sequence as well (delayed start) to they do not all try spinning up at
once. Power (or lack of it) does not seem to be the problem.

May as well state again that ANY OTHER BOOTABLE CD I TRY WORKS
ABSOLUTELY FINE ! It is ONLY LINUX CDs that will not boot (and I have
tried many, and before anyone suggests, the same CDs install no problem
on other PCs) - the ISOLINUX boot loader does not even start, just comes
back with loading.....  but the PC has NOT frozen !!!
