I recieve this same error with my old 4X CDROM.  The eay that I was able
to get around it eas to place it as slave to a hardrive for the
installation.  It seems that some of the bioses on older/cheaper cdroms
leave them undetectable when positioned as master.

When situated as slave they better bios of the hardrive makes it
detectable.

After installation you should be able to put it back to the original
configuration with out a problem.
