And Null, Battle.net doesn't check for your CD? Or they can't?  I'll try it!

How old is the PC? Has there ever been a time when you had no problems with the CD-ROM's?
It sounds very much like a problem with the jumper settings. Any IDE drive whether CD-ROM or Hard Drive etc. have a jumper in the back of it to set whether it's a slave, master, or let the mobo decide it automatically.
I've built two computers and both times the jumper settings seem to be messed up. The errors were weird, too, kind of similar to yours where the mobo would recognize the CD-ROM but then all of a sudden wouldn't, or something like that.
If you want, you can open the PC and look at the jumper settings on the back of the CD-ROM's to see whether the Slave and Master jumpers are properly set. Or if the jumpers are on the Automatic Detect setting (I forgot the proper acronym for it), you may want to manually set the CD-ROM's to Slave or Master instead. Some mobos don't support the automatic detect, so it can screw it up.
If this doesn't sound like fun, professional help may be what you want.
BTW, I don't know if you're still here at the forums, but if you want to respond without posting, just edit your last post and I'll look at that.
