Which BIOS is this? If your cd is on it's own ide controller (channel) then it will be fine as a master, however, if it's sharing a controller with the hard drive, the boot device (usually the hard drive) needs to be the master. SCSI is so much easier ;-) Just disable all ide drives *grin* and tell it which id to boot from. - alex
