Modern CDs use ISO Mode 1 format for the track layout on the CD, but there are older CD drives still out there that can only read Mode 2 (XA-Format) CDs. Perhaps the newer installation CDs are in a format that the old CD drive can't understand. Try copying the drivers to your hard drive, then burning a CD in the Mode 2 format from them.

The CD-ROM drive in question was a brand new 52x speed Samsung (I believe) that I bought for them in January. I find it hard to believe that the drive worked well enough to install Windows, all updates I had on CD. Then worked throught the Windows Update and also throught the installation of applications. It was only after I delivered it to them the problem started. No they didn't cause it and all cables etc. look right. It also still works when I boot to DOS mode.

I think it has to be something with Windows itself or a driver but I don't know which if any.
