As far as cd-rom drivers go which boot floppy are you using and are you selecting to boot with cdrom support or not?
Could be worth opening up the case and double checking the IDE cable is not loose too as well as checking power supply to HD and CD-Rom.
If all conections appear to be OK next step will be to go into the bios setup to check nothing is messed in there possibly someone having messed up something like disabling the IDE channels.
One last possibility while you are there is to try the Main HD on the secondary IDE channel just in case it is just the primary one that is down.
Fingers crossed one of these will sort the problem if not is sounding like upgrade time.  |
Check to see if the bios is seing the hdd as Sociable suggested.... You may allso want to try the hdd in a diff. computer
