It shouldn't matter if it could read it and boot it. Is the drive IDE, SCSI, SATA, or something old? What controller model is it attached to? I suspect the answer to a 500mhz celeron to be ide, in which case the problem doesn't make much sense, unless someone atteched a cdrom drive as slave without a master on an ide port, which works sometimes and not other times.
