Anne: This is something that worked fine, for several years. It was my box, before my daughter got it, and I used the DVD drive, without problems. That it works OK in MS Windows XP and that I can boot the box from the same DVD, without problems, has me leaning more toward a problem with CentOS 5 Mounting the DVD, in that box. If it is a HW problem, I would think the problem would also appear in Windows and when I boot from that DVD. However, that it works OK, in 2 other Desktops, would possibly indicate a HW problem in that box.
