My problem is that the CD-ROM is not found by the install boot disk. The hard disk is on the first IDE controller and the install boot disk find it. The CD-ROM is on the second IDE controller which the install boot disk finds. However, when I go to options to select the source media as the CD-ROM, I am told that no CD-ROMS were found. It doesn't make any difference if the CD-ROM is jumpered for master or slave. However, with it jumpered for slave, the bios startup detects the CD-ROM and says that it is on the "secondary as master". I am most confused and any help will be greatly appreciated.
