well ... i've formatted the drive thrice, tried different OS (XP, 2000, 98) but the same problem appears... nothing in startup... but still the problem is there ...

Can you try the cd rom drive in another machine? Sounds like it's time for a new one!

Hello,
I've had the same problem serveral times on different machines, I've replaced the CD-r with another good one, and the problem disappeard.
Inserted the same CD-r ( the one which was causing the problem ) in another computer and got the same problem, so that will say simpley that the CD-r is faulty.
