I have the W.C. CDROM of version 2.1.  I am having problems having the
boot disk (first step in installation) recognizing the IDE CDROM drive,
a Creative Labs 4X.

Other info: I have an SB32 pnp, but the CDROM is on it's own card, the
one that comes with the drive.  It's also configured to be slave.  The
settings are adjustable...I can choose which IRQ and port, etc.  so if
there is a boot image that will recognize it, or if there are generally
accepted settings for exactly which drive, etc. the cdrom should be
I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks,
Fred
