Well what it sounds like to me.... IT COULD be your power supply. Because if it works some of the time, and stuff like that. It sounds liek a power problem... Before you go out and buy a new one do this
Unplug ur fans, ur floppy drive, ur other Disk Drive.... Bassically so u have you hardrive your motherboard, and ur Drive.... Then see if it works. If so, its time to get a new power supply...ANGEL, MASK, PANTS, LOADER, GUITAR, PADS, EVERYTHING FOR SALE

also a common problem is that the optics get dust collected on them.
get yourself a can of air from the store since they have little or no moisture.
open drive bay and spray a few bursts in there on a angle to try and blow it out.
let it settle a minute and repeat.
good luck"The Few Who Do Are The Envy Of The Many Who Only Stand And Watch"

if the cd rom drives are both on the same IDE cable, that IDE cable could have gone bad.A Sanchez Machine Distributor
