Maybe some progress?

Pam123,

Thanks. Being four years old it might be getting time to retire it any. Besides I've never installed a hard drive and operating system before.

It is actually a DVD, not a CD-ROM, and I'm not sure whether it is referring to a CD-ROM that used to be there or else thinks the DVD writer is a CD-ROM. The DVD writer appears in Device Manager, but not in Devices under BIOS.

I disabled "Halt on Any Drive." I set the boot order to Hard Drive 1 first, Floppy second, CD-ROM.

And it has stopped saying "ATAPI CD-ROM BOOT: FAILURE" anyway!
