I'll answer (well, update) my own post. Removing the CD-ROM drive
definitely fixes the problem. So, is this CD-ROM drive just not
compatible with my motherboard? If so, is there a way to make it
compatible (i.e., some jumper settings)? If more details are needed,
I can disconnect the computer again, remove it from under the desk
(not an easy place to get to), and get the motherboard and CD-ROM
drive details. I really want to get this to work. For now, I can
live without the CD-ROM. If I need to go an buy a new (compatible)
CD-ROM drive, that's OK. I just need to know what I'm looking for.
Thanks,
Alfred
