I've just had an answer:

In the 4-5 years that I've been using that mb, I don't recall ever having
experienced that issue. I must have used half a dozen different CD, CDR, and
DVD drives in that time.

The fact that it won't boot from CD leads me to think that there's a BIOS/IDE
problem. I'd try disconnecting all HDs, leaving only the CD connected and set
to master. Then recheck BIOS to see that it detected this device. Finally,
see if it'll boot from the CD. The result of this test should set him on the
right path.

HTH.  If anything more arrives I'll send it on.
