ok, just to add to this, you'll need to check your cmos/bios setings to
ensure that your drives are being detected correctly.
it's not just a matter of setting the jumpers and hoping for the best.
this is where alot of people go wrong.
if possible put the cdrom on a seperate ide controler and I personally
would set it as secondary master. I will stand to be corrected on this but
if that doesn't work, slave it to your hard drive as either a primary
slave on the primary ide controler or as a secondary slave on the
secondary ide controler.
please feel free to correct me anyone as I don't always get things right.
