Since you're using an Atapi system, one thing which could be causing your grief is if you have your BIOS set to "cable select" the master/slave drives (as opposed to using "jumper select"). Just last week, there was quite a big discussion on The Register (www.theregister.co.uk) about a software reviewer who described the sort of intermittant problems you are having (and worse) until he set his hard drives to "jumper select" - I believe that the same type of problems would apply to Atapi CD drives too.
