Hmm...could just be a coincidence..after you took the cd out of that drive, did it still hang on boot like it was? If so, disconnect ide and power from the drive, and then boot again to see what it does.

*edit*
If the drive is going bad, that would be the cause of the hanging...on OEM computers, or any motherboard that has the option of a full screen logo, it just shows that during the POST, and if that drive is going, it's having a hard time detecting it, hence the hanging..blah blah.
