I have had a similar problem with my new Dell system. It's probably the
same as yours except mine is only 100MHz. It doesn't only happen with
disc #2; it happens at random times with varying discs. Usually it works,
but sometimes it tells me I have the wrong disc and and I'm stuck. This never
happened on my roommate's computer last year, so I can only guess that it's
a problem common to new Dell computers. I don't have a clue what causes it.
