I have both a ide and sony cd drive. I boot from a floppy which with the -c option and see the default address of 0x230 for the sony cd drive, I chance the port address to 340 using scd0 device name but it does not show up as being found when i depress F2 for debug. When I try to install, from the menu loaded after boot, error message is displayed " no cd-rom drive found, please check your configuration. >With the ide drive, I connect to the soundblaster 16 ide pinout, it also does not load, and same cr-rom error message received when trying to load. Additionally, i have two ide hard drives they both are found when i look at debug with F2 option but when i try to partition them, only one shows up even though i had the option to choose one of the two drives to partition. >Your help in installing the product would be appreciated. I have had it for over 4 months trying off and on to install >
