As far as I can tell ATA0 is controlling my harddrive and ATA1 is controlling my CD-ROM which is a "Matsushita CR-563-B". But when I go into my computers BIOS it says that Their is only one device being controlled (which I am assuming is my harddrive) and it is the master on controller 0. The slave on that controller says "none" along with the master and slave on controller 1. Well, what all this is leading up to is the fact that I can boot up the install disk, go threw the configuration, but when I get to were it asks me were I would like to install from, and I say CD-ROM, it says "no CD-ROM found". Oh, and I am booting the install program which is on CD from two floppies: one Kernel and one MFS Root, if that helps. Please Help. I would be happy to act as a ginnie pig to fix this problem if you would like to do some E-Mail tag to get this problem solved. Thanks. It sounds like your CDROM is set at a slave. You cannot have a slave without a master on a controller. Change the jumpers on the CDROM so it knows it is master. -- Crist J.
