Di, are you sure the drive jumpers are set as such. Many Windoze
computers are delivered with drives, specially CD drives set to
"Cable select". A setting only Bill Gates understands ;)
According to your statement, your cdrom should be hdc with the
jumper set to master, and your cd-rw is hdd with the jumper set to
slave. Altho not always absolutely neccessary, hdc should be on the
last connector on the second channel (ide1) ribbon cable, and the
slave, hdd should be on the middle connector.
Have you tried any of your bootable CD's in other systems to see if
they are in fact, bootable?
