I don't have any CD drives that aren't built into a system already.
Frankly, I find myself using them rarely now that USB thumbdrives are capacious and cheap. Since so many motherboards now come with the ability to boot from the network based on Intel's PXE, I'm getting my arms wrapped around serving up Linices and EMC2 via my FreeNAS box. It isn't trivial to set up but it isn't rocket science either. There's lots of advice available online. The circumstances you describe are strange---the problematic CD installs on other machines and other CDs install on the machine in question. If I were there I'd be applying the tried-and-true "brute force and ignorance" approach I learned on my uncle's farm. By the way, I don't remember whether you told us how your CD-drive is interfaced---IDE/PATA, SATA, USB?
