Sounds Like you may need to move the cdrom to the second IDE port. Make it
clame master, and make shure the harddrive on IDE 1 is clamming master. I
have noticed the some times even thoung the cdrom is compatable if you have
them on the same IDE chanel that will give it an eror that it can't explain.
If that does not solve your problem then there is a problem with the IDE
contoler it self. Ie: I had a cdrw drive die on me and caused my system not
to boot, but as soon as I removed the cdrw it worked fine.
