It seems that my computer stopped being able to boot from CDROM. It is secondary master on second IDE channel (both HD & CDROM have jumpers set on master) & set up as 1st boot device in BIOS. When I insert Windows XP install CD it will only go as far as black "Setup is checking your devices" screen and then it freezes on blank black screen. I never even get to the "blue" installation screens. Every linux live CD that I've used freezes right before it would switch to X. Knoppix and Ubuntu both detect my video card fine but right before I should actually get control of mouse it freezes. The only CD that will actually boot and I can install from it, is Windows 2000 CD. Did anyone seen this problem before?

I didn't do anything major to the computer to cause this problem.

Pls help I can't install Linux.
