seems that your IDE cable has either the drives in the wrong position on the cable, or the CDROM is not compatible with the operating system or the HDD.
Check all IDE cables, and jumpers on each drive (master, slave, cable select)
Try putting the HDD on its own on IDE 0 and make sure it is connected to the end of the cable.
Connect the CDROM on IDE 1 and same same with the cable and jumpers.
If you have the CDROM as a slave to the HDD (which is quite normal) make sure the cable had the master-HDD on the end and the slave-CDROM in the middle connector, and check the jumpers on the drives are set to HDD-master and CDROM-slave.
Open up the bios and make sure the correct drive is showing in it's right place, IE; CDROM as slave to the HDD on IDE 0 or if you want the CD can be a master on IDE 1
Note; in computer english 0 = 1, I know that's a bit irish but thats how it is, the zeros have a value.
