I had a similar problem with a CF-18. I wiggled the USB connector on the external CD at the CF-18 end a few times and it seemed to go away. Maybe my CF-18 USB connector was loose or tarnished and not making a good connection.

Wish that's all it was but running memory test now and seeing a lot of red....not good

It was the cheap external cd-rom that was causing the problem . I bought a Panasonic CF-VDRRT3U and installed the restore disk in not time at all.
