Well the machines are ALL Pentium4's or Core2 Duo's, not 'really' old.
What Im fishing for is there known problems with the boot block that F11
install writes?  Mabe the code has changed and it no longer supports 'all' 
CD/DVD
players.  

I dont see it as being the 'machines' but rather someting in the boot process
and was hoping that someone else had seen the same problem.
