Did you just install your OS? or upgrade from 95?

If the cd is not being recognised at boot First make sure the cable is connected properly. Check the autoexec to see if the drivers are being loaded there or in System.ini . Do an F8 boot and choose the one line at a time option. If there are any errors doing this the drivers could be missing or corrupt and should be reinstalled. The master slave jumpers could be off if both drives are on the same cable. The power connection could be loose. Check Device Manager for a System conflict.All right go here and take a look see.
