CD/DVD ROM error
The cable may be the issue if it is an IDE ribbon cable. Vista requires a
40-pin 80-wire cable. Earlier computers were OK with 40-pin 40-wire cables, but there is too much cross-talk on the old cables when used in the newer (i.e. faster) computers. The 40 additional wires ground out this cross-talk. Try a newer cable if you are using the cable that came with the older cd drive.
