The problem, it seem, is that v2.1.6 can't seem to recognize the IDE CDROM drive. There's a statement on back of the CD case that says the CDROM has a one year *unconditional* guarantee. Questions: does that mean I can return the CDROM or get a free upgrade when v2.2 is out? I rather have the upgrade. Is this possible? Failing that, can you give any advice on installing it with the version i have. Thanks.
